Frei Tito, OP (14 September 1945 - 10 August 1974) was a Brazilian Roman Catholic friar who was tortured during his country's military dictatorship.〔(''Frei Tito's Biography'' )〕 == Biography == Tito was the director of the Association of Youth Catholic Students in 1963 and went to live in Recife, Pernambuco in the same year. In October 1968, he was first arrested by repressive forces of the dictatorship for participating in the XX Congress of the National Union of Students in Ibiúna, São Paulo. On November 4, 1969, Tito was arrested along with several other members of the Dominican Order, such as Frei Betto, by political police officer Sérgio Fleury of the Department of Political and Social Order (DPSO). During approximately a whole month, Tito was severely tortured in the headquarters of DPSO, before being taken to the Presidio Tiradentes. On early 1970, at the high of the repression, Tito was tortured in the headquarters of DPSO as a part of the Bandeirantes Operation (which consisted of the financing of torture by high-profile businessmen). At prison, Tito wrote a letter about his torture which became a symbol in the human rights movement. On 1971, Tito was deported to Chile and, fearing for his life with the fall of Salvador Allende, he fled to Italy. In Rome, he was unable to find support from the Catholic Church, once he was considered a "terrorist friar". He then moved to Paris, where he found some support inside the Dominican Order. At this point, Tito's mental health was very unstable, as a result of the torture he suffered in Brazil. The abuses led him to persecution mania; he constantly feared a rencontre with Fleury and his other torturers. He submitted to psychiatric treatment, but the psychological suffering made him commit suicide on August 10, 1974.〔(''38 anos sem Frei Tito - 38 years without Frei Tito'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frei Tito」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
