Following a series of murders that occurred on January 20 and 21 in the Par\u00e1 state capital of Bel\u00e9m, civil society organizations are demanding a swift and thorough investigation into the attacks. In just two days, 27 people were killed and another 24 were injured in different parts of the city.<\/p>\n

The killings began shortly after the death of the military police officer Rafael da Silva, of the Tactical Metropolitan Patrol Unit of Par\u00e1, during an exchange of fire in a neighborhood of the city called Cabanagem. The Par\u00e1 State Forensic Center and the State Bar Association (OAB-PA) have found signs that the killings may have been executions and related to the officer\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The organizations wrote in an open letter<\/a> to the state government that \u201cthe indiscriminate occurrence of serial killings, with signs of involvement by state agents, represents a threat to all of Par\u00e1 state society\u201d. They also believe that \u201cthe federal government should require an independent investigation to begin and collaborate in any way necessary\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another series of murders with similar characteristics occurred in late 2014 and they also started after the death of a military police officer. The episode resulted in the installation of an inquiry into militias in the Par\u00e1 state legislature, which concluded that death squads were indeed operating in the state.<\/p>\n

The letter was signed by Conectas, Justi\u00e7a Global, the Sou da Paz Institute, the Brazilian Public Security Forum and the Defenders of Human Rights Institute.<\/p>\n
