Some Humility Would Do Lula Good. On Human Rights Brazil Has Long Way to Go

Jay Bauman

On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video here. It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.

Singer Caetano Veloso's Mom Calls Brazil President to Apologize for Son's Insults

Ashamed of her world famous son's bad manners, who was so impolite to refer to the Brazilian leader in a newspaper interview as illiterate, rude and tacky, a mother is calling this Monday, November 16, president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to apologize in her own name and in the name of her whole family.

She is going to tell Lula that she doesn't agree with what the son said. The woman is 102-year-ol… Continue

Brazil Sees Chaos Scenario if Caught in Blackout During Olympics

The recent blackout in Brazil, which left 50 million people in the dark across 18 of Brazil's 26 states, raised questions about whether the country is sufficiently prepared to provide secure energy when it hosts the World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Geisy, Brazil's Miniskirt Student, Should Try US College Next Year

Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.

As with most titillating stories these days, her activities were captured on youthful cellphone cameras and displayed on You… Continue

Miniskirt in Brazil School Results in Riot, Expulsion and Federal Action

When 20-year-old Brazilian tourism student Geisy Arruda appeared in college wearing a bright-pink miniskirt and heavy make-up on, she probably could not have imagined what she was about to encounter: A group of 700 enraged students ready to insult her and even attack her.

The incident occurred on October 22, and it involved 700 students from well-known Uniban (Universidade Bandeirantes - Bandeirantes… Continue
