STOP MASSACRES!

Ci-après un appel à signer un texte de protestation contre la "politique du gouvernement par rapport à la favela Morro do Alemão, sujette à de nombreuses incursions de la police et des unités militaires sous prétexte de lutte contre le trafic de drogue"
Dans ce texte est dénoncé l'usage abusif de la force dans les quartiers défavorisés, les meurtres d'innocentes victimes dont des femmes et enfants. Qui d'après vous sont les victimes ? A quel groupe ethnique, d'après vous ces pauvres des bidonvilles brésiliens appartiennent-ils ? Bon. Vous l'aurez deviné.
Faudrait-il, non pas une Minustha au Brésil mais une Minustbre pour protéger les intérêts des riches ? En fait le cas d'Haïti avec l'intervention de l'ONU  après  déportation d'un président élu en cours de mandat devrait servir à la communauté intrnationale de modèle pour le reste des pays du Sud.
Par exemple, pourquoi ne pas envoyer Lula, au Gabon, (l'Afrique deviendrait une nouvelle Guyane) par exemple pourquoi ne pasfaire intervenir les casques bleus qui rétabliraient l'ordre dans les favelas et assureraient les privilèges des puissants. Haïti, encore une fois donne l'exemple !
Bon pour plus de sérieux : signer la pétition
 
We, the people of Brazil, find totally unacceptable the government policy in relation
to the favela Morro do Alemão, which has been subjected to continuous invasion by police
and military units over the past two months, under the pretence of combating drugtraffic.
We invite you to take issue with this honorable cause.

 The referred policy completely ignores the fundamental rights of the favelas’ population.
It does not take into account the government’s duty of assuring constitutional elemental
rights such as thepresumption of innocence. People are being executed in the street,
presumed guilty without due process of law, in a country where there is no official death
penalty: the recent results of such government policy in Morro do Alemão show the deaths
of over twenty people, including women and children.

  Residents of areas affected by drug traffic violence have no government protection and
the result is a policy of massacre of unarmed people. If this were a war, as frequently
declared by the authorities of theState of Rio de Janeiro, endorsed by national mass
media, it should at least   obey the directives of the Geneva Convention, and the civil
population and military targets would have to be clearly differentiated.
Therefore, even taking into consideration this absurd hypothesis, the actions carried out
by Rio’s  authorities against unspecified targets in heavily populated areas result in a
flagrantly illegal and criminal action against its habitants.

  We are indignant and want to declare our revulsion with regard to these operations
allegedly for the combat of crime. The election of the authorities of the State of Rio
does not guarantee the right of the state government to decide by force who is to live
or die in favelas or in other marginalized areas. We protest and demand that the
government interrupts what we understand to be the formalization of a policy of massacre
in Rio de Janeiro. We also demand full access to the data about victims and those
responsible for their deaths; full investigation and prosecution of those guilty of
homicide. We understand that the Pan American Games are approaching and that the
occasion requires planning for security. This does not justify a series of actions that
seems to be nothing more than organized massacres.

 If you want to take up this cause, please send an e-mail to comunicacao.rede@gmail.com
<mailto:comunicacao.rede@gmail.com> with your name and/or institution/social movement/NGO,
and your signature will be added to this document. We would be grateful if you could help
us by forwarding this communication to as many people as possible.

 Thank you for your attention,
