The Commission trials

The Commission trials refer to a series of legal proceedings held during the 1980s in Brazil, aimed at addressing human rights violations during the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. These trials focused on uncovering the truth about political repression, torture, and disappearances of individuals. The Commission gathered testimonies from victims and their families, helping to document abuses and promote accountability. While the trials did not bring criminal charges against perpetrators, they played a crucial role in acknowledging past injustices and fostering reconciliation in Brazilian society.
