Representatives of Redes da Mar\u00e9, Observat\u00f3rio da Interven\u00e7\u00e3o, Amnesty International, Conectas Human Rights and M\u00f4nica Ben\u00edcio, Marielle Franco\u2019s widow, met on Wednesday 19 September, in Geneva, with the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, Kate Gilmore, the UN Special Rapporteur for Summary Executions, Agnes Callamard and team members of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Violence against Women.<\/p>\n

During the meetings the group denounced violations of rights in the context of the militarisation of public security in Brazil and the increase in murders involving the police. They also talked about the dearth of answers about the assassination of the human rights defender and councilwoman, Marielle Franco.<\/p>\n

The Deputy High Commissioner expressed her solidarity with Marielle\u2019s widow and proposed dialogue with the state about the assassination of Marielle Franco and the situation of human rights defenders in Brazil. She also recalled questions posed to the Brazilian state during the session of the Human Rights Council about federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro and concerns over human rights violations resulting from the intervention.<\/p>\n

The UN Rapporteur on Summary Executions, Agnes Callamard, also expressed her solidarity with Monica Ben\u00edcio and showed concern with the escalation in violence in the context of the militarisation of public security in Brazil. She stressed the importance of discussing concrete proposals to reduce violence in terms of human rights.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day the group presented research data, to the Rapporteurs on Human Rights Defenders and Violence against Women, regarding violence against women in the Mar\u00e9 favela and the broader picture of violence against human rights defenders, as well as concerns over the lack of progress of investigations into the assassination of Marielle Franco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a meeting with the UN, after more than six months without a response, I denounce the Brazilian government\u2019s neglect regarding the absence of justice in the case of the political execution of Marielle. I have also requested international support for an impartial investigation and still claim that the Brazilian authorities will have blood on their hands until they answer who killed my partner, Marielle Franco and who gave the order to kill her.\u201d Said M\u00f4nica Ben\u00edcio, Marielle Franco\u2019s widow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very important moment for Brazilian civil society and is also highly relevant in enabling the UN to understand what is happening in Brazil. By listening to the demands presented by organisations that work at the grassroots level, the UN will be better equipped to act according to its mandate of protection and promotion of human rights.\u201d Said Camila Asano, Programme Coordinator at Conectas Human Rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe denunciations we have brought to the Human Rights Council regarding violations of rights in the context of federal intervention and the lack of answers regarding the assassination of Marielle have already been made in Brazil. But the Brazilian authorities seem not to be listening. They have failed to solve the case of Marielle and have not implemented any measure to reduce murders by the police. Given this scenario, mobilisation and international visibility are essential. And this is why we are here.\u201d Said Renata Neder, Research Coordinator at Amnesty International Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meetings today with UN representatives have shown the importance of denunciations at the international level of violations of rights that happen in the favelas and in underprivileged areas of Brazil. Without a doubt, this is a way of pressuring for effective changes in the field of the right to life and to public security.\u201d Said Eliana Silva, Director at Redes da Mar\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a meeting with the UN, after more than six months without a response, I denounce the Brazilian government\u2019s neglect regarding the absence of justice in the case of the political execution of Marielle.<\/p>\n

I have also requested international support for an impartial investigation and still claim that the Brazilian authorities will have blood on their hands until they answer who killed my partner, Marielle Franco and who gave the order to kill her.\u201d Said M\u00f4nica Ben\u00edcio, Marielle Franco\u2019s widow.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s meetings were important in determining that the international community sees the federal intervention with concern from the outset. It was also important to share data and analysis from these seven months as a way of consolidating international dialogue regarding the problems of public security caused by the Intervention. This cooperation has proved fundamental, given that the Brazilian government insists on denying the increase in crimes against life, particularly deaths caused by police officers.\u201d Said Pablo Nunes, Research Coordinator at the Observat\u00f3rio da Interven\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, 20th, the organisations are holding an event in parallel to the 39th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The event \u201cMilitarisation of public security: federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro, extrajudicial executions and risks for human rights defenders\u201d will take place in Room XXVII of the Palais de Nations, at 12.30 pm (Geneva)\/7.30 am (Bras\u00edlia), and will be transmitted live on the Red Internacional de Derechos Humanos<\/a><\/u> Facebook page.<\/p>\n<\/div>
