RIO DE JANEIRO - Bodies from a Rio de Janeiro police raid that left more than 20 alleged drug traffickers dead show signs of torture and summary execution, a senior lawyer said on Thursday, the latest incident of suspected police brutality to shock the South American nation.
Brazilian police were filmed forcing 38-year-old mentally ill man, Genivaldo de Jesus Santos, into a police vehicle before gassing him with a teargas grenade in a video that has sparked national outrage.
