A senior police officer has attacked Brother Henri de Rosiers in the press, after the church mission he works for published a report denouncing police torture of prisoners. This attack may put him and other mission staff such as Anilson Russi, Ana de Sousa Pinto and Airton dos Reis Perreira at greater risk from death squads.
