Summary
[Segunda-feira:] Um homem de cor parda, 1,70 m de altura, aparentando 28 anos, sem camisa, bermuda azul-clara e chinelos de couro de cor preta, foi mais uma vítima de grupos de extermínio que agem na periferia de Salvador. … A vítima estava com as mãos amarradas para as costas e foi atingida por vários tiros de pistola na cabeça …
Nas primeiras horas da manhã de quinta-feira, seis homens, dois deles usando camisa preta com o escudo da Polícia Civil, mataram, com vários tiros na cabeça, o desempregado Edvan Nascimento Silva, 26 anos, na estrada Cia/Aeroporto, após ser espancado na presença da mulher e filhos.
Na madrugada de domingo, na Invasão Nova Constituinte, subúrbio de Paripe, dois homens usando capuzes, após arrancarem de dentro de casa o biscateiro Arivaldo Conceição Santos, 37 anos, executaram-no na frente do seu barraco.
A Tarde Online (March 16, 2004)A black man, an unemployed man, and a shantytown resident making a living from odd jobs: three executions in the course of one week in Salvador da Bahia, each targeting the poor and the marginalized. The odds of being killed by the police in Salvador are at least three times higher than in São Paulo. More than in any other city in this study, in Salvador the laws have been pushed aside to make way for killing the socially undesirable.
