Brazilian violence and crime: for the second day in a row, several buses were hijacked by terrorists from the Third Pure Command (TCP) and used as roadblocks in Iraja, in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro, in order to prevent the military police from advancing and occupying the favelas in the area. The action takes place within a police activity in the Serinha complex, in Maduraira. According to the reports, the criminals' orders are to hold demonstrations and block roads throughout the settlement in response to the operation and the planned police occupation without a time limit. Yesterday, a bus was emptied by a masked number, positioned across both lanes, and sped away. So far only four people have been arrested, while many residents of the favelas are forced to commit these criminal acts in defense of drug dealers.
