Chacina de Nova Brasília: violência, sofrimento e reparação às vítimas e familiares

Abstract

This dissertation deals with two massacres that took place in Rio de Janeiro, in the favela Nova Brasília, Complexo do Alemão, on October 18, 1994 and May 8, 1995, in which 26 people died and 3 young people suffered sexual violence as a result of two diferents “incursions” performed by Civil Police from Rio de Janeiro. When analyzing the transformation of these violence into "massacre" and "case", we can observe the plurality of agents involved (media, human rights organizations, international organizations such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, State Sectors, victims and relatives) as their plurality narratives. Seeking to understand the relationship between violence, pain and suffering of victims and their families during the struggle for reparation, justice and the constitution of the case, are presented reflections on the formulation of reparation policies in a democratic context in contemporary Brazil. It was concluded that reparation policies are built in the midst of complex political conjunctures and are composed of state and non-state actors that interfere not only with the formulation, but, above all with the implementation of reparation and the course of police violence in the judicial system.
