A Brazilian women living in Switzerland claimed to have been the victim of a terrible racial attack.26-year-old lawyer Paula Oliveira said that three skinheads assaulted her outside a local train station in Zurich and scarred the initials of the far-right Swiss People's Party on her stomach and legs. The pregnant Oliveira claimed that the attack caused her to miscarry twins that she had in her womb.
Brazil’s government is looking into allegations made by Olivera:
Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said the charge d’affaires of the Swiss embassy had been summoned to receive the request.Olivera’s ordeal has outraged people in her native Brazil including her father who said that “what they did to my daughter is like a horror movie.”
"We can’t draw any conclusions yet, but we have asked the Swiss authorities to conduct their investigation with more transparency so we can have all the information," he told reporters...
He said Switzerland should carry out an exhaustive investigation "not only for the person attacked, but also for the good relations between Brazil and Switzerland."

This is extremely grave and horrible.
ReplyDeleteI would call it The Topmost in Terrorism, Cowardice and Racism.
We should not be fools. All these Racist Attacks and Murders are Political. Political Idiots, yes, but they are political, and have many political consequences. The idea is to produce terror and fear in populations.
I keep a big list of Racial Murders, Racial Attacks, etc ... And many other Violent, Murderous, or Aggressive Actions, Also Tortures, History and Law.
And I give short stories and the links to search for more information about the grave violations of Human Rights.

A racial attack? From the pictures I have seen of this woman, she was clearly Caucasian in appearance. If you're going to allege a racial attack, doesn't that require, at the very least, that you're a different race from your attackers?
ReplyDeleteYes, she was Brazilian, but there's no way one could have known that just by looking at her. An attack based on nationality alone would be an example of xenophobia, but not racism.
Com'on, Vicente. It's clearly a hoax.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine someone writing down so neatly with a knife in a kicking, screaming woman? Wasn't she beaten? Where are the bruises then?
And why a neonazi would write down the name of his party? To make it easy for the police? A neonazi would just mark a swastika on her skin.
And yes, I think she's whiter than most portugueses/spaniards/greeks and as white as the average italian/french.
wow that's amazing, how can be possible that in this age racism still exist... mostly from european people to american people.
