The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará reported this Thursday (13) that, among several police inquiries launched to investigate suspicions of international trafficking in children, it has never received complaints similar to the episodes of torture cited by the former Minister of Human Rights, Damares Alves (PL-DF), last Sunday.
The MPF referred to the allegations by former minister Damares about crimes on the island of Marajó. She alleged that city children are trafficked abroad and subjected to bodily mutilation and diets that facilitate sexual abuse.
The MPF unit in Pará is still awaiting information from the executive secretary of the Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights (MMFDH), Tatiana Barbosa de Alvarenga, about the alleged crimes cited by the former holder of the portfolio. As of Thursday afternoon, the ministry had not responded.
On Tuesday, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office for Citizens’ Rights, the MPF’s body for the defense of human rights, and the Public Ministry of the State of Pará also requested this information from the MMFDH. The bodies want the government to indicate all the details that the folder has, so that the appropriate measures can be taken.
Prosecutors of the Republic in Pará also ask that the executive secretary of the folder inform what measures it took when discovering the cases and if there was representation (denunciation) to the Public Ministry or the police.
