At least 119 dead in Brazil Police RAIR, Line Line streets as people mourn – nationwide

A police raid that led to violent clashes at a party in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, resulted in 119 deaths, public defenders said on Wednesday, a day after the government ordered.

According to Reuters, the police in Simo said that the attack was planned for more than two months and was designed to suppress the suspected gangs operating in the Preforacto da Penha FavelA in the nearby areas, where the Special Operations unit was waiting to identify the suspected attackers.

Police authorities in Rio have confirmed the death of 119 people so far, including 115 suspects and four police officers, which is almost double the number authorities gave in one day. On Tuesday, the force said nearly 2,500 police and soldiers killed 60 suspected gang members.

The police spokesperson Felipe Curi said that some bodies were found from the forest near the attacked areas, the suspicion that the citizens removed the camouflage suspects and the clothes worn by the suspects from the wood found in the forest.

Alleged actions will be investigated as incriminating evidence, he added.

On Wednesday, in Penha neighborhood, an area found in the lower part of Rio de Janeiro, residents surrounded the bodies of the dead, which were collected by trucks and displayed in the square and displayed in the central square.

They shouted “murder” and “justice” before forensic teams arrived to find the bodies, media outlets affiliated with the rebels said.

Rio state authorities say the use of excessive force and the violent nature of the attack did not surprise authorities.

“High casualties of the operation are expected but not desired,” said Victor Santos, head of security at Rio State, said during the Press Conference.

The federal government said 93 firearms and more than half of the drugs were seized.

The attack sparked gunfire between gang members and police, leading to widespread clashes, school closures, car fires and road blockades.

On Wednesday morning, local activist Raul Santiago said he and a group of others found 15 bodies before sunrise.

“We saw people who were killed and shot in the back, shot wounds, people holding wounds, this level of brutality, the Handred spread – there is no other way to explain it than that.

At the time, government officials argued that its powers were fighting the ‘Norco – terrorism’ war and that those killed had been killed while resisting arrest.

Rio does not go by police killings: in May 2021, 28 people were killed in Jacarezin Faavea, and in 2009, 29 people were killed in the Rio Fluminense Region.

The brutality of Tuesday’s operation drew widespread condemnation from human rights organizations, including the UN, which called for an investigation into the high death toll to “recall its human rights law.”

“After the deadliest police operation in the history of Rio de Janeiro, we want a complete and effective reform of the inspection methods,” the organization wrote in X on Wednesday.

“Violations cannot go unpunished. Proper accountability processes must lead to truth and justice to avoid dishonesty and violence,” the statement said.

Gangs are right to have their wave in Brazilian society in recent years, according to AP, including the Amazon rainforest.

Filipe Dos Anjos, general secretary of FaferJ, told the news of the release of this type of police action that does not solve the problem, as those killed are easily killed.

“In about 30 days, organized crime will be reorganized in this area, doing what they have been doing: Selling drugs, stealing cargo, collecting money and money,” he said.

“In terms of concrete results for people, for society, this kind of operation achieves nothing,” he added.
