BR: Landless Farmers March To Capital
The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement, MST), is five days into a 17-day march from the starting point of Goiania to the capital Brasilia.
Covering on average 15km a day in this 290km-journey, they create an extraordinary thin red line of three columns stretching four-and-a-half kilometres along the BR-060 motorway.

Re: BR: Landless Farmers March To Capital
More than 12000 landless activists are to hold a mass protest in Brazil's capital against what they see as the government's slow pace of land reform.
The protesters arrived in Brasilia after a two-week 200km (125-mile) walk from the city of Goiania, capital of the neighbouring state.

Re: BR: Landless Farmers March To Capital
Brazilian landless farmers are heading home battle-scarred but victorious after their epic 238km journey to the capital and an audience with the president in their bid for agrarian reform.
