Description: April 4, 1968, Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian troops occupy Presidente Vargas Ave for a requiem mass in memory of Edson Luís, murdered by gendarmes seven days earlier. These events were part of a series of building-up tensions between the people against the regime that led to a further toughening of repressive polices by December.
