In the state of Pernambuco in the northeast of Brazil, the city of Escada has occurred through poor farmers for several days. The reason for these massive street blocks is the murder of the poor farmer Deyvison Batista da Silva, which was arrested by the military police for no reason in the afternoon of February 21 and then arrested.
Deyvison stood on the day of his murder and spoke to two friends as three military police officers with their motorcycles and started to harass him. In the further course, the three police officers grabbed, including the bull with the nickname "Pitbull" Deyvison, which is infamous for his aggressiveness among the local population and hit him. It was then "Pitbull" which deyvison shot into the face up close.
Deyvison was then taken to a hospital and banished without the possibilities of family visits to isolation. Reports from residents tell that the military police have cordoned off the hospital against Deyvison's relatives and refused to construct any access to allegations against Deyvison. And in fact, as in so many cases, the military police would have been armed with the Deyvison, which was contested by all witnesses of the attack. Deyvison leaves his woman and his unborn child in the 7th month.
A few hours after the death of Deyvison, the residents of Escada to block the BR-101 motorway with burning tires. The next day, the residents of Escada continued their actions in great intensity by taking three places in siege. A bridge in the city center was blocked, a police station was blocked by the battalion of the battalion of the military police by demonstrators and the BR-101 motorway again. On the third day on February 23, the residents again stood on the highway with burning tires and also flee the fire brigade to escape the burning barricades.
The democratic and revolutionary newspaper "A Nova Democracia" writes the powerful actions and the strength of the intensity of the blockades the consistent and adamant attitude of the residents of the city of Escada, which no longer tolerate the reactionary violence by the police and with decisions justice Deyvison and his wife demand.
