Thousands rallied across Brazil on Sunday, and in many cities around the world, in solidarity with former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The commemorations came exactly one year after Lula’s imprisonment.

Some of the largest demonstrations were held in Sao Paulo and in Curitiba, where organizers said 10,000 people turned out. They traveled here from around the country and rallied outside the federal police prison where Lula is held.
