The international press began to report the beating followed by the death of João Alberto, which occurred inside a Carrefour supermarket in Porto Alegre. The US newspaper The Washington Post defined the attack as “savage.” The Argentine La Nación highlighted the “wave of indignation” that emerged after the event.
In The Washington Post, the headline is: “Death of a Black Man After a Wild Aggression Revolt in Brazil.” The text, signed by Terrence McCoy, says that the country received the news “with anger and horror.” And he says that Brazilians are still fighting structural racism and trying to change the violent treatment of the security forces against blacks.
The journalist also drew attention to the death of João Alberto “which ignited the national debate on police violence, which in recent years has become one of the most pressing issues in Brazil.”
The website of the newspaper La Nación also highlighted the repercussions of the case in Brazil. The headline says there is a “wave of outrage in Brazil.” He also says the assault was a “brutal beating.”
International agencies such as Reuters and AFP reported the murder in both English and Spanish. Important international sites, such as “Yahoo” and “El Observador”, have already published these texts and have increased the international repercussion of the case.
Carrefour supermarket is a French chain, but at the moment the main French newspapers have not reported the death of João Alberto. One country’s website, “24 heueres,” from Le Mans, published a simple account of what happened.
