The Brazilian prison-based criminal gang PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital - First Command of the Capital) who has been terrorizing São Paulo with dozens of killings and hundreds of attacks against public buildings and buses is threatening to use once again its violent tactics if their demands are not met.
They vow that their new actions will be in "in a scale not yet seen." The only way to avoid their wrath they warn is for authorities to end what they call mistreatment of prisoners in the jail system. "Violence begets violence," they say in a pamphlet that had wide distribution in São Paulo. "We will give our lives if necessary. Unless there is an end to this situation we will take this war for justice to the last consequences." The Police fear that the PCC document is just the preamble to another wave of bloody attacks by the gang. This might happen on August 31, the day in which the group was created or September 7, the Brazilian Independence Day. Authorities don't know exactly what to expect and just wonder what could be "in a scale not yet seen," but they suspect the criminals would try kidnappings and armed attacks. The police have seized a note in the cell of kidnapper Paulo César Souza Nascimento Junior, the Paulinho Neblina, one of the most dangerous PCC leaders, in which he gives instructions for a kidnapping: "Negão, if possible use a pen for that situation provoked by you." He then mentions the recent kidnapping of a reporter from Globo TV. "You have to do it the same way. This is another blow to strike, but this is bigger than the one from Globo." Here is the PCC pamphlet in its entirety: Rights, Duties, Human Dignity, Peace The PCC - First Command of the Capital Notifies on behalf of the Truth The State Government has been using the media to lead the justice and the population to the mistaken thought of the true motive that led us to armed actions against the government. What's been happening in São Paulo is a direct reflex of what the Government itself planted in the State Penitentiary System. Now it's reaping the result. There is patent disrespect to the Constitutional Laws throughout the whole system and we will mention some examples here. In Presidente Venceslau I and II, as well as Presidente Bernardes II, our families and our lawyers have been treated as inmates, without ever having committed crimes, in total disregard for the law. In President Venceslau II, where everything started and for this reason, the unit director Dr. Wan Nelson, turned over the cells keys to a group of armed and masked men called G.I.R., who have been committing all kinds of abuses. They invade the pavilions, shooting and using bombs without any justification. The coward aggressions are constant. By imposition of the directors, the time of visit is limited to 2 hours, never respecting the families (mothers, fathers, wives and children), who are literally taken as hostages by these men, who bearing large caliber weapons, maintain the families under the barrel of a gun, threatening and cussing until they get to the cells, where they are then locked with the prisoners, in tears and traumatized, specially the children. The same procedure is used on the way out. We need to stress that there has already been shotgun shots during the visit day, supposedly accidental. That kind of action is filmed by the G.I.R., which has to account for their actions. However, they present whatever they please. The truth is that they have been showing these images all over, in order to demoralize the families. These are a few examples of our real motivation, something the government tries to hide. There are no laws that grant to any prison director such right, and what they do is a crime. It is against this kind of thing that we fight and if we took this path that's because this is only one that was left to us by the government. You have to listen to us. The reflex of the armed actions are negative for all and hurt innocent people. However, they are going to continue in a scale not yet seen, in case the justice of this country does not take steps and at least investigate, because what the state tries hard to hide will come out. We will sacrifice our lives if necessary, but unless there is an end to this situation we will take this war for justice to the last consequences. Violence begets violence, cowardice begets cowardice. Duties in the System Yes, But Also Rights, Justice and Human Dignity Peace, Justice and Freedom!

Brazil received a huge boost in its international image with its selection as the host of the 2016 Olympics, but it was really just the cherry on top of the overall recognition of the country's ascension to the ranks of one of the world's most important countries. Now, as it finally takes its place on the world scene, there has been a great deal of concern about what kind of image Brazil hopes to project, now that the world is really paying attention. 
The only good thing to say about the visit to Brazil of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Monday November 23, is that it was mercifully short and lasted less than 24 hours. Ahmadinejad had his picture taken being hugged by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who gave him a warm welcome and said Iran had every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. 
The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
- allowing injustice leads to more injustice.
- allowing impunity leads to more impunity.
- allowing wealth inequality leads to more wealth inequality
- allowing high bureaucracy leads to more bureaucracy
- allowing red tape leads to more red tape.
- allowing vote buying leads to more vote buying.
Which is a short description of Brazil. Eventually you may include these phrases in your National Anthem.
