Brazilians protest against Ahmadinejad's upcoming visit

RIO DE JANEIRO. November 16. KAZINFORM Hundreds of people gathered for protests in Brazil's largest city of Sao Paolo against an upcoming visit of Iran's president, a local Jewish youth movement said, Kazinform refers to RIA Novosti.

Protesters marched along central Paulista avenue, accusing the Iran's leader of inciting national enmity. They demanded that the Brazilian government withdraw Ahmadinejad's invitation.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to visit Brazil on November 23. His visit, originally scheduled for May, was postponed twice due to a wave of protests which sparked across the country.

After a May visit was cancelled minutes before the start of an official news conference at the Brazilian foreign ministry, the Iranian leader said he was ready to visit Brazil after Iranian presidential polls in June. However, the visit did not take place again, Kazinform cites RIA Novosti. See www.en.rian.ru for full version.
