Therezinha de Jesus Zerbini ORB (also Therezinha de Godoy Zerbine; 12 December 1928 – 14 March 2015) was a Brazilian attorney, feminist leader, and founder of the Women's Movement for Amnesty in Brazil. She was a personality that marked the contemporary Brazilian history, reporting that civilians and politicians alike who opposed the Brazilian dictatorship had been imprisoned, tortured, and persecuted, a statement which was systematically denied by the military authorities. Zerbine was a political prisoner who occupied the same cell as president Dilma Rousseff in the Tiradentes State Prison. The amnesty movement was greatly enhanced when the Brazilian Committee for Amnesty (CBA) in Rio de Janeiro was launched, formed by lawyers of political prisoners demanding a broad, general and unrestricted amnesty, promoted by the Order of Attorneys of Brazil, in February 1978. The following month, she risked her life in an attempt to deliver a letter in the hands of President Jimmy Carter, making the then First Lady Rosalynn Carter, responsible for one of the two revolutionary moments of the military period. In 1979, she stood by Leonel Brizola, member of the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB) in São Paulo and founder of the Democratic Labor Party (PDT), when the acronym of the party was lost for Ivete Vargas. And despite her clear position against the military dictatorship, she also signed the "Manifesto for the Defense of Democracy", coordinated by national personalities, intellectuals and politicians in reaction to the political practices of the Lula government, thus supporting the democrat Jose Serra. ==Life== Zerbni met her husband, General Euryale Jesus Zerbini, who was twenty years older than her,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://memoriasdaditadura.org.br/biografias-da-resistencia/therezinha-zerbini/ )〕 in 1951, when he commanded the security forces in São Paulo. He was the brother of cardiologist Euryclides de Jesus Zerbini. She was a social worker for the Mandaqui Hospital which cared for children with tuberculosis (she already had the disease a few years earlier).〔 General Zerbini, commanding the unit Caçapava at the time of the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, was one of the four generals to take a legalist position against the army coup. His political rights were revoked over this.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brasileiros.com.br/2013/09/a-filha-do-general/ )〕 Therezinha Zerbini was required to respond to a military police investigation for helping Frei Tito to get a ''sitio'' in Ibiúna owned by a friend of the Zerbini family, which would be the place where the União Nacional dos Estudantes Congress (an organization outlawed by the military regime) was to be held. She was indicted in December 1969 and framed in the National Security Act.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Maria Cecília Conte )〕 She was arrested in her house on 11 February 1970, and sent to prison for eight months,〔 six of them spent in the Tiradentes prison in São Paulo, where she lived with then "gerrilheira" Dilma Roussef.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2012/07/1113275-minha-historia---therezinha-zerbini-a-burguesona-que-foi-a-luta.shtml )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.istoe.com.br/reportagens/83253_A+TORRE+DAS+DONZELAS )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/noticia/2008-03-11/dilma-chora-no-senado-ao-encontrar-amiga-com-quem-ficou-presa-durante-ditadura )〕 In 1975, Therezinha Zerbini founded the Female Movement for Amnesty (Movimento Feminino pela Anistia, MFPA), which issued a manifesto for general amnesty, managing to gather 16,000 signatures supporting the cause. She dealt with complaints regarding imprisonment, torture and political persecution, a fact that has long been systematically denied by the Brazilian military government. Thereafter, the MFPA began forming committees for amnesty in major cities throughout the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.educacional.com.br/reportagens/eleicoes_mulheres-politica/parte-05.asp )〕 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「Therezinha Zerbini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
