FIFA condemns violent Cup protests

FIFA on Monday condemned "all kinds of violence after a man was shot and injured by military police during an anti-World Cup demonstration Saturday in Sao Paulo.

"FIFA fully respects people's right to protest in a peaceful manner and as long as the rights of everybody are respected, but condemns any form of violence," a FIFA statement read after a 22-year-old man was left in a coma after being shot in the neck and groin.

Police said he was carrying an explosive device.
