Evidence

I made it up to the Edifício Copan, the monumental building shaped by legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Simply being there seemed a kind of stubborn rebuke to the military police, who promptly arrived and put an end to that. As the tear gas canisters landed right below us, the crowd cheered out, “Love is over! Turkey is here!” — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 395
