No more torture.

Brazil is back in the dark ages. What other name can we use to describe the treatment given by the Military Police of the Federal District to the protesters who occupied the Esplanade of Ministries on Tuesday, the 29th, in protest against the approval of PEC 55?

Men, women, young and old, civil servants, teachers, housewives, union members, prisoners, fainting, choking, vomiting, running from rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas bombs.

The nation's widest and most powerful esplanade was transformed into a stage for unequal battles, where brutality, batons, handcuffs, and chemical weapons were used indiscriminately against Brazilian citizens exercising their full right to protest.

The photos of this war zone were not shown in their true extent by the mainstream media and could be repeated at any time.

Governors and their commanders of the civil and military police across the country should stop and think about the consequences of this escalation of repression.

Brazilians no longer accept being deceived. Many of those who fought for Dilma's impeachment are realizing they were misled, that the banner of fighting corruption was a farce, and that the corrupt individuals in power are doing everything they can to maintain their privileges.

Mr. President of the coup-plotting Republic, gentlemen governors, gentlemen commanders, a cornered, humiliated, wronged people doesn't have much to lose.

National outrage will fill the streets. If blood is spilled amidst the crowd's anger and their flags, the blame will fall on those who orchestrate this cruel spectacle.

Their children and grandchildren will not forgive them. Having lived through the horrors of the dictatorship, many of those who today support the coup and the repression certainly don't care about going down in history as executioners.

We are on the opposite side. We fight so that Brazil does not need to rewrite chapters like the "Brazil: Never Again Project," produced clandestinely between 1979 and 1985, the final period of the military regime in Brazil, by Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns, Rabbi Henry Sobel, and the Presbyterian pastor Jaime Wright.

What did representatives of the major churches in Brazil dream that Brazil would never have to experience again 30 years ago?

Repression of democratic freedoms, torture, persecution, assassinations, and disappearances, such as those that occurred in the country between 1961 and 1979, are documented in over a million pages of 707 cases from the Superior Military Court (STM).

Thanks to technological advances, the internet now shows live what happens on the streets. Every act of cruelty, every act of violence, every act of disrespect is recorded and sent to the world.

Those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind. The coup leader Temer and his allies are reaping what they sowed.
