Democratic Brazilians Are Still Here

Description

On April 1, 2014, the bust of Rubens Paiva was inaugurated in the Hall of the Brazilian National Congress, the same parliament that was shut down by the military coup five decades earlier. 

During the dictatorship of 1964 to 1985, many federal members like Paiva were arrested, tortured, and even assassinated by the militaries. However, Paiva remains the only current or former member of that Congress with a “missing person” status.
