Five years ago, the corner of the roads Maria Ant\u00f4nia and Consola\u00e7\u00e3o, in S\u00e3o Paulo, was the scene of one of the most emblematic incidents of the 2013 \u2018June Journeys\u2019. To mark this moment, Conectas has joined another five organisations and victims of police violence to hold an event called \u201cScars of June: 5 years of injustice<\/a>\u201d, starting at 6pm.<\/p>\n

On the 13th, at this location, the S\u00e3o Paulo Military Police carried out a violent attack on thousands of protesters, firing rubber bullets and throwing tear gas grenades. Over 100 people were hurt and another 240 were arrested. Five years on, this date is to be remembered with poetry slam and the launch of the book \u201cMem\u00f3ria ocular: cenas de um Estado que cega\u201d (Visual memory: scenes of a blind state). There will also be a discussion on state violence in the present day.<\/p>\n

The photographer, S\u00e9rgio Silva, co-author of the book with the journalist, Tadeu Breda, was hit in his left eye by a rubber bullet while he was covering the protest. S\u00e9rgio instantly lost his sight and has since been refused compensation at both a trials court hearing and at an appeals court. Another 40 journalists were also wounded and two reporters from the Folha de S.Paulo, Giuliana Vallone and F\u00e1bio Braga, were shot in the face by non-lethal weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn that day, we saw the indiscriminate use of violent, extremely repressive force by the police. Images from that day triggered the large protests that took place throughout the rest of 2013.\u201d Said Henrique Apolin\u00e1rio, Assistant on the Conectas Institutional Violence programme. \u201cSince then the police have developed more sophisticated methods of repression and have started using techniques such as \u2018enveloping\u2019 protests. They have increased their use of non-lethal weapons, such as tear gas and rubber bullets and now pursue protesters after demonstrations have ended.\u201d Henrique added.<\/p>\n

The event \u201cScars of June: 5 years of injustice\u201d is divided into three parts: the launch of the book \u201cMem\u00f3ria ocular: cenas de um Estado que cega\u201d (Visual memory: scenes of a blind state), poetry slam and an open mike. This event is part of the \u201cJunho sendo<\/a>\u201d programme (June is happening), which includes an extensive programme, from 6 to 23 June, with activities, meetings and workshops, to discuss the consequences and the significance of the 2013 \u2018June Journeys\u2019.<\/p>\n
