RIO DE JANEIRO, November 16 (RIA Novosti) - Hundreds of people gathered for protests in Brazil's largest city of Sao Paolo against the upcoming visit of Iran's president, a local Jewish youth movement said.

Protesters marched along central Paulista avenue, accusing Iran's leader of inciting national enmity. They demanded the Brazilian government withdraw Ahmadinejad's invitation.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to visit Brazil on November 23. His visit, originally scheduled for May, was postponed twice due to a wave of protests which sparked across the country.

After his May visit was cancelled minutes before the start of an official news conference at the Brazilian foreign ministry, the Iranian leader said he was ready to visit Brazil after Iranian presidential polls in June. However, the visit did not take place again.

In October 2005, Ahmadinejad was condemned by the international community after he said the Holocaust is a myth and that Israel should be "wiped off the map."
