Há 26 anos aconteceu uma das páginas mais tristes da história do Brasil, mas como somos um país sem memória, pouco se fala da data.

Naquele dia, o primeiro a morrer foi um senhor surdo q não correu pq não ouviu o barulho dos tiros. Ele foi atingido no pé e depois na cabeça.

Um dos últimos a morrer foi uma jovem liderança, Oziel Pereira, de 17 anos. Ele se refugiou em uma casa, mas foi encontrado, algemado e arrastado pelos cabelos até o ônibus da PM. Seu corpo apareceu no IML, assassinado com um tiro na testa, à queima roupa.

Esses 2 juntamente com outros 19 camponeses foram assassinatos esse dia. Segundo o legista Nelson Massini, que fez a perícia dos corpos, pelo menos dez vítimas foram executadas à queima-roupa. Sete lavradores foram mortos por instrumentos cortantes como foices e facões.

On July 1, Senators Kirsten #Gillibrand, Senator Chuck #Grassley & Senator Ted #Cruz announced they will offer the bipartisan #Military Justice Improvement Act as an amendment to this year’s National #Defense Authorization Act. gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/rel… #NDAA #MJIA #PassMJIA
From Senator Gillibrand's press release: "The Military #Justice Improvement Act would professionalize how the #military prosecutes serious crimes by moving the decision over whether to prosecute them to independent, trained, professional military prosecutors." #MJIA #PassMJIA
"Despite years of Congressional reforms, thousands of service members are raped & sexually assaulted every year. In many of those cases, the assailant is someone in the survivor’s own chain of command." -- #military #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #MJIA #PassMJIA

VA is one of the top service providers in the world for survivors of Military Sexual Trauma but veterans don’t always know what resources are available. That’s why @VetAffairsDems and the #WomenVetsTaskForce are examining VA’s support for #MST survivors. bit.ly/36ZZZTf
Sexual harassment and assault is widespread in the military-- 1 in 4 women veterans have experienced sexual harassment, denigration of service, or other hostile behavior from male veterans at VA facilities and many face retaliation for reporting. hsrd.research.va.gov/publications/v…
VA is supposed to be a safe place for veterans to receive treatment, but too often women veterans face catcalls and harassment within VA facilities. Read one woman veteran’s experience here: jezebel.com/he-was-implyin…

This morning: by @DeptVetAffairs's own numbers, 1 in 5 veteran claims for military sexual trauma #MST were wrongfully denied.

@DeptVetAffairs @DeptofDefense Tune into this morning's join hearing on how VA supports #MST survivors, happening now:

Yesterday, my staffer bravely shared her story of a sexual assault at the DC VA and Secretary Wilkie’s response ⬇️jezebel.com/he-was-implyin…
Unfortunately, this problem is not new. Every day women veterans visit VA facilities across the country to access some of the best care available, especially for #MST, but too many encounter a problematic culture of harassment while trying to access that care. Image
That’s why @VetAffairsDems will hold a critical hearing tomorrow morning to learn how VA supports survivors of Military Sexual Trauma. It is crucial that an agency charge. Image
