and today many of the women and men from around the world and from remote areas of the Amazon or the Andes in the middle of the city to demonstrate together for human rights and peace. From the port out the clock from 15 demonstration across town at a place where the evening takes place the rally. A challenge for those who can not put off by the afternoon's downpour, but also for Belém itself, the traffic comes to a halt.
