Washington, D.C. – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)
and its Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression express
their concern over the acts of violence that reportedly took place against
demonstrators and journalists in Brazil during the social protests held in
June in several cities across the country. The Commission urges the
authorities to investigate the potential excessive use of force and, where
applicable, to prosecute and punish those responsible. In addition, the
Commission calls upon the State of Brazil to guarantee the physical welfare
and safety of the demonstrators and journalists during the protests.
