Brazil's Movement of Homeless Workers Saturday, where a man was shot
in the arm and later hospitalized, according to Carta Capital.
Organizers
of the occupation indicated that the shots came from a condominium
complex located beside the mega-encampment. Witnesses have filed a
report at the military police station.
The
occupation, which began on Sept. 2 has grown to include 7,000 people
living in rudimentary conditions on a terrain in Sao Bernardo do
Campo city.
Comprised
principally of unemployed and homeless people demanding decent
housing, the land occupation is located on an open plot measuring
60,000 square meters owned by the MZM construction company.
Though the
terrain has been used for absolutely nothing over the past 30 years,
the company secured an eviction order from local authorities.
