- United by grief, mothers in Brazil demand reparations after police killed their sons
Mothers in Brazil, including Ana Paula Oliveira, form a group to demand reparations and policy changes after police killed their sons. They seek public funding and nationwide support for families affected by state violence, citing 460 police-related deaths in Rio last year. The group draws parallels to Argentina's Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and highlights ongoing legal battles, such as the manslaughter trial of an officer who killed Oliveira's son.
