STORY: Dozens of Indigenous protesters forced their way into the COP30 climate summit venue on Tuesday (November 11) and clashed with security guards at the entrance.

Shouting angrily, the protesters demanded access to the U.N. compound where thousands of delegates from countries around the world are attending this year's U.N. climate summit.

Some waved flags with slogans calling for land rights or carried signs saying "our land is not for sale."

Nato, an Indigenous leader from the Tupinamba community, told Reuters that the indigenous people were upset about ongoing development in the forest. "For us it's a moment of revolt, of indignation, it’s a moment when we indigenous people feel the defeat of our territory in our skins."

Security guards pushed the protesters back and used tables to barricade the entrance. A Reuters witness saw one security guard being rushed away in a wheelchair while clutching his stomach.
