VOICED : Violencia policial en Brasil amenaza legado de JJOO Amnistia

Amnesty International highlights the risk of human rights violations by police in Rio during the Olympics. In 2015, one in five homicides in Rio was police-related, with most victims being young black residents of favelas. The case of Vítor Santiago Borges, who was paralyzed after police opened fire on his vehicle, exemplifies this issue. Amnesty criticizes the 'shoot first, ask questions later' strategy, noting that since 2009, 2,500 people have been killed by police, while 39 officers have died this year.
