National Truth Commission
The National Truth Commission ((ポルトガル語:Comissão Nacional da Verdade)) was approved by the Chamber of Deputies on 21 September 2011.〔(Câmara aprova criação da Comissão da Verdade )〕 Originally planned to investigate human rights violations during the military dictatorship of 1964–1985, it investigated violations from the period of 1946–1988.〔 The bill, which originated from the Executive branch, was approved in late 2011 by the Federal Senate and sanctioned by President Dilma Rousseff. The commission lasted for two years and consist of seven members appointed by Rousseff.〔 Members of the commission had access to all government files about the 1946–1988 period and may convene victims or people accused of violations for testimony, although it wasn't mandatory for them to attend.〔()〕
In 10 December 2014, the commission issued a report with its findings. The report identified the participation of 337 agents of Brazilian government involved in human rights violations, including arbitrary prisons, forced disappearings, torture and subsequent death of political opponents to the dictatorship.〔 According to the report, 434 people were killed or disappeared by actions of the military regime. During the same period over 8.300 Indians were killed, and the Truth Commission admits that the real figure of Indians killed is probably much higher.〔http://amazoniareal.com.br/comissao-da-verdade-ao-menos-83-mil-indios-foram-mortos-na-ditadura-militar/〕
==History of Brazil's military regime==
From 1964 to 1985 Brazil fell under the influence of a military regime that killed or “disappeared” political activists and trade unionists and tortured many others. The numbers of those killed and “disappeared” are smaller than those of neighboring countries like Argentina, which also fell to military dictatorships. Brazil’s military regime ruled Brazil by rotating military presidents, held elections, and kept Congress open. However, in reality, the elections held were heavily manipulated and the military openly threatened Congress if it began to operate against the views and wishes of the regime. In 1979 the Brazilian government passed an amnesty law that allowed all exiled activists to return to Brazil but also protected officials involved in the military regime from any prosecution for human rights violations committed prior to 1979. Because of this law, no military perpetrators of crimes have been tried and convicted for their offenses. As 1985 began to unfold, the regime began to slowly and peacefully transfer governmental power to civilians, avoiding a tumultuous end that might instigate negative feelings about the regime or aggressive prosecution of any leaders of the military.〔 This chapter of Brazil’s past created what researcher Nina Schneider describes as a “politics of silence”, where atrocities and entire decades of Brazil’s history have been swept under the carpet.
