20 Exemplary cases

This is a not a pleasant exhibition, but it is a very important one.

It consists of photographs and text describing of twenty out of
more than 500 documented cases of torture in Brazil when the
Military ruled the country between 1964 and 1980.

Brazil has punished no one for these crimes and none of the victims
of torture or their families received any compensation from the
government for their losses.

This exhibition keeps alive the memories of these atrocities and alerts
the people of Brazil and other countries that these things continue in
Brazil, in spite of the so-called democratic government in charge now.

We call on International organizations concern with human and civil rights
in underdeveloped countries to look closer at the Brazilian situation.
Brazilian authorities are masters at hiding wrong doings, and this
deception has to stop. Sanctions have to be established, to force
Brazilian leaders to respect the rights and dignity of the Brazilian people.

This exhibition is a work of journalists Amancio Chiodi (photos)
and Mylton Severiano da Silva (text).
