Legiao Urbana

Légia Urbana is a Brazilian urban guerrilla group active mainly in the 1980s, known for carrying out acts of sabotage and violence against government and military targets. It emerged during Brazil's transition from military dictatorship to democracy, aiming to oppose what they saw as oppression and social injustice. The group sought revolutionary change through clandestine operations, including bombings and armed attacks. Their activities reflected broader global leftist movements of the time but contributed to political instability in Brazil. Over time, their influence diminished, and they became a part of the country's complex history of political activism and extremism.
