VIDEO | New audios shows complicity of Brazilian military with torture

New evidence of complicity of the military with crimes against humanity on the last brazilian dictatorship surfaces

From the newsroom

Ato em memória das mulheres vítimas da ditadura militar, em frente ao 1º Batalhão de Polícia do Exército, no Rio de Janeiro, em 2016 - Tânia Rego/Agência Brasil

The cases of torture during Brazil’s military dictatorship gained new evidences after the release of audio recordings from the Superior Military Court sessions recorded between 1975 and 1985. A lot was already known about the brutality and cowardness of torture committed against political prisoners, but the release of the audio recordings frames the facts in a new shape.  

"Despite all the work developed by the Truth Commission, there are still documents and sources undisclosed to the public, mainly due to the behavior of our military institution, which has public servants. It blocks the access to the memory institutionally defended as a legacy", says the researcher Rodrigo Lentz.

Also on What's Happening in Brazil: the world of fashion is known for being a very elitist space. However, indigenous fashion designers want to change this landscape. In the hands of these creators, clothes and adornments become tools for cultural fight and rescue.

On the culture segment, listen to the singer and songwriter Zé Guilherme. With more than 20 years of career, he likes to combine many music genres, such as pop, maracatu, samba, and xote.

All What's Happening in Brazil episodes are available at Brasil de Fato's YouTube channel, where you'll also find a special English-content playlist. Partners who wish to include a longer version of the show in their schedule may contact our international team at [email protected].
