Dilma Rousseff Granted Amnesty and Indemnity for Military Dictatorship Abuses

Brazil's Amnesty Commission grants former President Dilma Rousseff political amnesty and R$100,000 indemnity. Former President Dilma Rousseff has been granted political amnesty and a significant financial settlement for human rights abuses she endured during Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985). The decision, made by the National Commission on Amnesty, follows a lengthy legal process and addresses Rousseff's claims of torture and political persecution. 'This recognition is due to the abuses she suffered during the military dictatorship,' stated a GloboNews anchor reporting on the decision. The R$100,000 indemnity represents the maximum amount allowed under the amnesty program. The ruling marks a significant moment for Rousseff and acknowledges the suffering of political prisoners during a dark chapter in Brazilian history. This decision underscores the ongoing effort to address past human rights violations and provide justice to victims.
