Favela Nova Brasília vs. Brazil Case
The document presents a summary of the persistent non-compliance with the international decision, which mandated that Brazil adopt reparation and non-repetition measures, and asserts itself as an instrument of memory and advocacy in the fight against state violence.
The case refers to two lethal operations carried out by agents of the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police in the Nova Brasília favela, located in the Complexo do Alemão, which occurred on October 18, 1994, and May 8, 1995. The actions resulted in the deaths of twenty-six men and the sexual torture of three women.
The victims were mostly young Black people, including two teenage girls aged 15 and 16 who were subjected to sexual violence and six boys under the age of 18 who were victims of extrajudicial executions. The Summary systematizes the disputes surrounding the implementation of the sentence and establishes itself as an instrument in the fight for justice and remembrance.
