Brazil Moves To Silence Opposition In Military Crackdown
Brazil’s military regime led by President Arthur da Costa e Silva began a broad crackdown. Congress was suspended, censors moved into newspapers, and arrests of former president Juscelino Kubitscheck, a deputy, and journalists followed. A new institutional act lets the president strip political rights, declare a state of siege, seize assets, and suspend habeas corpus for crimes against national security, signaling a decisive escalation in the 1964 coup era. Gen. Siseno Sarmento, chief of staff, is cited as the power behind the crackdown.
