Brazil does not know the reason for 17 thousand violent deaths in 2019, whether it was the result of murder or aggression.

The conclusion comes from the Atlas of Violence 2021, released this Tuesday (31). The study calculated that deaths classified as "violent death from undetermined causes" (MVCI) jumped from 12,310 to 16,648 between the years 2018 and 2019, an increase of 35%. Homicides, on the other hand, fell by 21%, from 57,956 to 45,503.

Within the decade, the rate of indigenous murders rose 22%. And, in 2019, every hour, a disabled person was a victim of violence.

The annual survey gathers data from the Ministry of Health, mainly from the Mortality Information System (SIM). It was carried out by the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP), the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the Jones dos Santos Neves Institute (IJSN), linked to the Government of Espírito Santo.

1. Fascists

Love to hate and kill disabled people. Hitler thier idol saw disabled people as unworthy of life,so they were slated for euthenasia murdered at state run institutions. Before the death camps took out everyone else the Nazis hated. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-murder-of-the-handicapped

2. So true! So many Nazi officers were helped in escaping to places all over South America, too.

Thanks for sharing that link. It has important information to absorb many have never heard, I'm sure.

I had never heard of that Austrian castle which was converted into an euthanasia center. What a horror.

Had never seen a map showing the number of euthanasia centers, either.

It's so monstrous learning as we have so recently, people of the same sentiment are rising, as if from a grave, to repeat this bloodfeast, unless the world can finally learn from its own past and move to prevent it this time.

Thank you, I UP.
