Description

Explore the historical role of Amnesty International during the Brazilian dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. This academic study examines how the organization addressed state violence and the treatment of political prisoners during a period of intense repression. This book provides a detailed look at how Amnesty International assisted those subjected to torture and worked to publicize charges against agents of the military regime. It offers a specific examination of how the organization managed its core principles, such as non-violence and a focus on individual cases, while operating within a repressive political environment. For students, historians, and researchers of Latin American politics or human rights, this work provides essential context on the activities of international NGOs during military rule. It serves as a deep dive into the practical application of human rights advocacy in the face of state-sponsored violence.
