Hundreds of thousands rally against corruption in Brazil

Hundreds of thousands of people have joined peaceful demonstrations across Brazil against government corruption. Crowds were generally smaller than in March when more than 1.5 million people turned out. They allege involvement of the governing Worker's Party in bribery at the state oil firm Petrobas. President Dilma Rousseff denies involvement and has been exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general. The political opposition say much of the alleged bribery of politicians took place when Ms Rousseff was head of the oil company. Despite her exoneration, many protestors still believe that the president must have known about the scandal. Some have been calling for her impeachment.


The number of protestors varied widely. Police have said that 696,000 people took to the streets on Sunday but organisers have put the number at 1.5 million, according to Globo news. Many of the protestors wore the yellow shirts of the national football team and waved Brazilian flags. Others held placards reading "Dilma out" and "Corrupt government". In Rio de Janeiro, several thousand people marched along Copacabana beach, a turnout reported to be considerably lower than the 25,000 protestors seen on 15 March.
