Brazil is among the most influential democracies in regional and global affairs, yet it continues to confront serious human rights challenges at home. Faced with high levels of violent crime, some Brazilian police units engage in abusive practices with impunity. Justice officials seeking to hold police officers accountable for unlawful practices face threats of violence. Detention centers in various states are severely overcrowded, lengthy pre-trial detention is common, and torture is a serious problem. Forced labor persists in some states despite federal efforts to eradicate it. Brazil has taken significant steps toward addressing grave human rights abuses committed during the country’s military dictatorship (1964-1985).
