Beatriz da Silva :

“I still can't believe what happened. I'm waiting for him to arrive. It seems like he is here, but he's in another place and will arrive...”

“They ripped a part of me away and now they've taken the other one”

"Police are not paid to kill; they are paid to detain, but when they go to the favela, they arrive shooting."

"We no longer have security; those who should protect us are killing us."

"I want them to grow with heart and without hatred, and to be able to tell them that justice was served."
