Some 122 people have been killed in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo as police strikes enter their seventh day.
The coastal state, north of Rio de Janeiro, has seen chaos in the streets despite 1,200 soldiers being deployed to keep order.
The Brazilian Ministry of Defence has said that number will rise to as many as 3,000 by the weekend.
Most of the violence has occurred in the state capital, Vitoria.
Police claim the majority of those killed there were tied to drug trafficking or some other type of crime.
