A youth holds up a sign that reads in Portuguese “Eduardo Paes, what do you say? Until when?" referring to the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, in front of a tunnel blocked during a protest by people pressing for clarifications on missing persons, including a bricklayer who recently disappeared in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on late Aug. 1, 2013.  The 42-year-old father of six was picked up for police questioning on suspicions of involvement in drug trafficking, but was released shortly thereafter.
