BRAZIL Man punishes a woman in public in a favela. Using a butcher’s knife, he cuts her hair off. According to all available information, she cheated on her husband, who is a respected member of a local gang. He is allegedly the one carrying out the punishment.
Brazilian favelas are often controlled by gangs, which enforce their own laws and punishments. Unlike the official Brazilian justice system, these punishments are frequently physical and carried out without a proper legal trial – only the gang’s decision matters.
