Military Justice, which should judge exclusively military personnel in peacetime, throughout Brazil’s history has been used to condemn civilians, including for reasons of political persecution. In recent years there has been the condemnation of civilians, residents of favela communities in Rio de Janeiro, by the Military Justice as a result of alleged crimes of disobedience and contempt in the course of law and order guarantee operations. The purpose of this article is to analyze the prosecution by the military justice of civilians (mostly poor, black, and slum dwellers in Rio de Janeiro), in the course of law and order compliance operations, for framing the crimes of disobedience and contempt practiced against military
people.
