A 39-year-old Ghanaian migrant has died while being detained at Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil, raising concerns about human rights violations in the airport's handling of migrants. The man, whose cause of death remains undisclosed, passed away on August 13 after receiving medical care at the airport. Reuters reports that he was among a group of "inadmissible travellers" held in a restricted area of the airport due to a lack of proper documentation or visas to enter Brazil. The death occurred amid alarming conditions at the airport, where hundreds of migrants from countries including India, Nepal, and Vietnam have been stranded for weeks. Job Openings
