A member of Brazil's Landless Movement waves a banner with a portrait of Che Guevara along the BR-277 highway between Curitiba and Paranagua, southern Brazil, April 17, 2007, as dozens of landless activists took control of a series of highway toll booths as part of a nationwide wave of protests over the handling of the promised agrarian reform by the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Landless Brazilians are demanding that the government accelerate the appropriation of unproductive farms and grant land to squatters throughout the country.
