Demolition Of Rio Favela Continues Ahead Of Summer Olympics

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - FEBRUARY 24: A resident walks while wearing a Brazilian flag in the mostly demolished Vila Autodromo favela community on February 24, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most residents of the favela community have moved out and had their properties demolished after receiving compensation for their homes which are located directly adjacent to the Olympic Park under construction for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. A small fraction of remaining families from an original 700 or so in Vila Autodromo are resisting the controversial evictions and remain in the community. The favela sprang from an old fishing community and was considered one of the city's safest. Removals and demolitions have occurred in other Rio communities with tangential links to the games.
