The military police of Goiás began this morning of Wednesday, 16/02, the mega- operation of reinstatement of property in the occupation(squat) of Sonho Real(Real Dream). They are near 2.500 men that began in a violent way the unemployment. At least 10 people were taken to the hospital and two deaths were already confirmed.

There were more than 800 detentions, inside them that of two volunteers of Indymedia that covered the occupation.

The action was carried out in spite of requested innumerables entities of human rights, goians parliamentary and sectors of the Catholic and evangelical(protestant) churches. The own governor, Marconi Perillo, guaranteed that the military police would not invade the place.

In the dawn of Monday ,Tuesday, 02/15, the military police again attacked the occupation of Real Sonho, in the Industrial Park West in Goiânia.

Besides bombs of tear gas and of moral effect, they were used by the policemen bullets of lead of thick caliber. The ocupanes responded to the aggression with their precarious defense weapons. Two residents and a policeman were hurt and assisted in the Urgences Hospital.

More than 3.000 families they are living in the occupation of Real Sonho. Several barricades were lifted in the entrances and exists an enormous determination of resisting the unemployment action.

The corporate press of Goiânia comes being quiet in front of these abuses and it has carried out an enormous campaign of criminalization of the movement for the housing. The judicial power presses openly to the Secretary of Public Security and the military police to complete the order of refund of the properties. According to the command of the police, 2.000 men are being mobilized.

We are in front of an imminent massacre. In front of this emergency situation, IMC Goiânia requests to all the entities of human rights that return its eyes toward Goiás and press to the local and federal public power to look for a peaceful exit to the conflict.

The manifestation will begin at 9hs o'clock, in the cathedral of Goiânia. Violent and massive presence of the fascist police it is awaited.

More witness about the policial violence don't stops to come, in spite of the National Secretary For Humans Rights (Nilmario Miranda), which decided hear only the police version of the massacre, ignoring new denunciations of the inhabitants of the ocupation(the majority of they allegate equals denunciations).

Other denunciations are: the attacks of the policemen to the disarmed neighbors of the squatted area. They houses was invaded for policemen which shooted and beated in the people. Between the deads, the people of the squatted area affirm which a children was killed by the cops.

The childrens, the olds, and the women are the favorite targets of the policemen. Before the destruction of the occupation (at the last February,16th), the state police executed the "Intimidation Operation"(a cheapy copy of the Bu$h´s "Shock and awe Operation"in Iraq ) with bombs and shoots in the houses to aterrorize principally the children and preparate the psycological conditions for the bloody invasion of the squatted area.
