A neofascist group, who threatened several times to kill Amnesty International staff member Eduardo Bernardes da Silva, have traced him to the location where he was moved for his safety. Amnesty International is concerned that the group appear to have informants within the police force, and believes that Eduardo and Amnesty International members in Brazil are in danger.
