Brazil: Favela residents protest demanding justice for recent police operation victims

In Brazil, favela residents protested to demand justice for the victims of the recent police operation that left more than 120 dead in Rio de Janeiro. Protesters denounced the death policy of Governor Claudio Castro, who belongs to the same party as Jair Bolsonaro. Among the allegations are human rights violations, summary executions, and injured people. Furthermore, family members of the victims gathered in front of the regional government house to demand justice. The police action, announced as an operation to prevent the expansion of a criminal faction, became the deadliest operation in Brazil's history, including the death of four police officers last Tuesday.
