Amnesty International says anti-drug trafficking operation in Jacarezinho favela ‘reprehensible and unjustifiable’.
The death toll from a Brazilian police raid this week in a Rio de Janeiro favela has increased to 28, a police official said late on Friday, as international human rights groups condemned the violence. One police officer and 27 people were killed in the raid early on Thursday, which authorities said aimed to root out drug traffickers in Jacarezinho, an impoverished community in the city’s North Zone. It was the deadliest police operation ever carried out in Rio de Janeiro.
