Suspicion of torture at the GPR post

according to CM Upon learning that on August 11, the guard wanted to leave the hospital for psychological reasons, but the head of the post, Sergeant Sa Ribeiro, convinced him not to do this, because there were not enough staff. The soldier was allowed to take the day off and entered service at 08:00 the following Monday. At the time, the head of the post ordered the soldiers of the service to take an alcohol test, and the guard blamed the level above the legal limit.

He asked for a second test, but was refused, causing the soldier to tear up the form issued by the breathalyzer. Shortly thereafter, Commander Sa Ribeiro asked one of his colleagues present for handcuffs. The guard held out his hands and did not resist, but was forced to undress, leaving only his underwear. Then he was placed in a cell. It was 8:48 in the morning and they didn’t let him out until 13:50. The whole situation was observed without interference by the commander of the Nisa detachment, Captain Luis Ribeiro.

Military sources contacted CM a guarantee that there were no grounds for detention – neither for alcohol (no criminal case was brought against him), nor for an act of disobedience (punished by a maximum of two years in prison and there was no resistance) – and that only a disciplinary case should have been opened.
