4 | This is the third part of the series. Check out the second post: Brazilian Weapons Firm Exports Arms to Arab Countries | Mampanontany tena ny Fitsarana Breziliana ny fampiasana fitaovam-piadiana tondroina ho tsy mahafaty raha miezaka ny mampiroborobo ny fanondranana azy ireny ho any amin'ny firenena tahaka an'i Torkia na ny Emirà Arabo ny vondron'ny mpamokatra APEX. |
5 | The Brazilian federal government agreed to the purchase of thousands of non-lethal weapons from Brazilian arms firm Condor - the same company that furnished the tear gas used against protesters in Turkey - to be used by the police forces in all the host cities of the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup for the sum of 49.5 million reais (22 million US dollars). | |
6 | The agreement with Condor S.A. Indústria Química, signed on 26 November, 2012 to last until 31 December, 2014, provides for the supply of different types of weapons, such as 2,200 non-lethal short distance kits, which include pepper spray and pepper foam, tear gas grenades with traceable chips, indoor and outdoor moral effect grenades and explosive light and sound grenades; besides that, 449 non-lethal short distance kits with rubber bullet cartridges and impact expansible cartridges - bullets that expand when they touch the skin, avoiding perforation. | |
7 | Apart from that, the agreement includes the purchase of 1,800 electric weapons for launching energized darts - the so-called Taser guns, 8,300 moral-effect grenades, 8,300 light and sound grenades, 8,300 triple smoke tear gas grenades, and 50,000 pepper spray canisters. | Tamin'ny novambra lasa teo , nanokatra famotorana momba ny vokatry ny fampiasana ireny fitaovam-piadiana ireny ao amin'ny firenena ny Fampanoavana eo anivon'ny zon'olom-pirenena ao Brezila. Vokatry ny fikezahana nataon'ny ONG Tortura Nunca Mais (Tsy hisy intsony ny fampijaliana) avy ao São Paulo. |
8 | Find the entire agreement here. The tear gas exported to Turkey was also bought by the Brazilian federal government for use during the 2014 World Cup and Olympics. | Misy vondrona mpanadihady ahitana solontenan'ny minisiteran'ny fitsarana, ny fiarovana, ny fahasalamana, avy amin'ny sampandraharahan'ny zon'olombelona eo anivon'ny prezidansan'ny repoblika, avy amin'ny polisy federaly sy ny polisy nasionaly ary monisipaly napetraka hamita volavolan-dalana momba io raharaha io. |

10 | Used under a Creative Commons license Condor's non-lethal weapons are largely employed by police forces all over the country as well as by the federal government. | Tsy misy tokoa manko fepetra nasionaly mifehy ny fidirana an-tsehatra sy miantoka ny fomba fampiasana tsara izany fitaovam-piadiana izany. |
11 | Federal programs buy such weapons, for instance, to be used by the Unities of Pacifying Police (UPPs, initials in Portuguese) in Rio de Janeiro and by police forces in 12 States involved in the program “Crack, É Possível Vencer” (Crack Cocaine, It's Possible to Win) including shock pistols, Taser guns, and pepper spray. | Tsy maintsy manao fanadihadiana fampitahana ihany koa io vondrona mpanadihady io mijery ny fanofanana manokana nomena ny polisy sy ny fiantraikany ara-pahasalamana ho an'ny olona niharany, indrindra moa rehefa amin'ny fampiasana angovon'aratra sy fangaro shimika. Milaza ny heviny i Wilson Furtado, avy ao amin'ny Tortura Nunca Mais-SP : |
12 | The Brazilian government has already allocated 49 million Brazilian reais (approximately 22 million US dollars) to Condor just to pay for the weapons to be used during the Confederations Cup this year and in the 2014 World Cup. | Tsy mitsaha-mampiasa ity karazana fitaovam-piadiana lazaina fa tsy mahafaty ity ny polisintsika… Raha tokony hisambotra ny polisy dia ny hitifitra kosa no ivononany mandrakariva, ka mahavoa ny tanora manao fihetsiketsehana amin'ny ankapobeny. |
13 | The Brazilian tear gas exported to Turkey was also bought by the federal government to be used during the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. | Mitsipaka hilazalaza ny asan'ny orinasa breziliana manondrana fitaovam-piadiana ny minisiteran'ny fampandrosoana, indostria, ny varotra ivelany/Sampan-draharaham-panjakana / lisansa Creative Commons |
14 | In April 2012, according to Transparency Portal [a website created by the federal government to inform on government's expenditures with the World Cup 2014], the federal government spent 1.5 million reais (approximately 669,000 US dollars) on the purchase of non-lethal ammunition from Condor to be used by the army to “ensure law and order in the residential compounds of Alemão and Penha”. | Tadiavin'ny vondrona mpanadihady, ankoatra ny fampahafantarana feno ny olom-pirenena, ny lalàna manoritsoritra sy mifehy ity karazam-piadiana ity, mamaritra ny karazam-piadiana mahazo alalana sy ny fenitra arahina raha hividy ary (mamaritra) izay manara-maso ny fampiasana azy. Ny fitaovam-piadiana novokarin'ny Condor no ampiasain'ny governemanta federaly sy ny polisy manerana ny firenena. |
15 | Among the items which were purchased there were 1,125 explosive light and sound grenades (GL 307), 500 multi-impact pepper grenades (GM 102) and 500 smoke grenades, 29,500 rubber bullet cartridges and 700 random movement tear gas grenades (GL -310) - the same which were used against the protesters in Turkey. | Ny fandaharan'asa federaly ohatra dia mihevitra ny hividy ireo fitaovam-piadiana ireo ho an'ny Vondronkerin'ny Polisy Mpampandry Fahalemana (UPP) ao Rio de Janeiro sy ho an'ireo vondro-tafika manokan'ny fanjakana 12 nirotsaka tao amin'ilay fandaharan'asa. Tafiditra ao anatin'izany ny poleta karazana “tasers” sy ny tsifitra dipoavatra. |
16 | In June, the government purchased weapons from Condor for the security of Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, amounting to a total of 1.3 million reais (approximately 579,000 US dollars). | Noheverina hampiasaina amin'ny fotoan-dehibe tahaka ny Amboran'ny Konfederasiona na ny Mondialy 2014 izy io : izay indrindra no efa nanokanan'i Brezila tetibola mitentina 49 tapitrisa Reais hividianana Condor (17 tapitrisa €). |
17 | Among them were more than 900 pepper spray canisters, 1,300 triple tear gas grenades, 870 explosive light and sound grenades, and 5,000 12-calibre cartridges with rubber bullets. Justice? | Novidian'ny governemanta federaly ihany koa ny (karazana) baomba mandatsa-dranomaso naondrana tany Torkia mba hiomanana amin'izay mety hampiasana azy amin'ny mondialy 2014 sy mandritra ny lalao olaimpika. |
18 | While the Brazilian Agency for the Promotion of Exports and Investment encourages the export of arms to countries such as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, the use of the same non-lethal arms is questioned by the Brazilian justice. In November 2012, the federal prosecutor for citizen's rights decided to investigate the damage brought by these arms to the health in the country. | Tamin'ny avrily 2012 ny Vavahadin'ny Mangarahara namoaka vaovao fa ny governemanta federaly dia nividy fitaovam-piadiana tsy mahafaty mitentina 1,5 tapitrisa Reais (500 000 €) tao amin'ny Condor hidiran'ny tafika an-tsehatra ho fampanajana ny lalàna sy ny filaminana tao amin'ny fokontaniny avaratr'i Rio de Janeiro antsoina hoe complexos do Alemão e da Penha. |
19 | At the request of the organization Tortura Nunca Mais (Torture Never Again) from São Paulo, a working group comprising representatives of the Ministries of Justice, Defense and Health and of the Secretariat of Human Rights from the Presidency, as well as the Federal and State Police and the Municipal Guards, was created with the aim of monitoring bills on the subject. | Izany fitaovam-piadiana izany dia ahitana grenady mirefotra (GL307) miisa 1 125, miisa 500 ny grenady maro fiantraikany miaty dipoavatra (GM 102) ary miisa 500 grenady manetroka, miisa 29 500 ny andiam-bala fingotra ry 700 ny grenady mandatsa-dranomaso fanao amin'ny fihetsiketseha-panoherana tsindraindray (GL -310), dia ireo izay mitovy tamin'ny nampiasaina hamoretana ny fihetsiketsehana nitranga tany Torkia. |
20 | This was deemed necessary as there is no national rules to guide decisions and ensure an acceptable use of such weapons. | Baomba mandatsa-dranomaso naondrana any Torkia novidian'ny fitondrana federaly izay mety ampiasaina amin'ny mondialy 2014 sy ny lalao olaimpika/Sampan-draharaham-panjakana/lisansa Creative Commons |
21 | The working group shall also carry out a comparative study about police-training programs as well as studies about the consequences to the health of people targeted by these weapons, especially those that make use of electric shock and chemical components. | Tamin'ny jona 2010 ny governemanta ao Rio de Janeiro no nanafatra Condor hitandroana ny Vovonana Rio+20 : fividianana tsifitra dipoavatra 900, grenady mandatsa-dranomaso (kambatelo) 1300, grenady mirefotra 870 ary andiam-bala kalibra 12 vita fingotra 5000. |
22 | Wilson Furtado, from Torture Never Again, observed: Our police are using this type of allegedly non-lethal weapons ostensibly…Instead of arresting the person, the policeman fires the non-lethal weapon and that is it, targeting mainly the young people during their protest marches. | Nanao fifanarahana 49,5 tapitrisa Reais ny governemanta federaly hividianana fitaovam-piadiana tsy mahafaty an'arivony amin'ny orinasa Condor, hampiasain'ny polisy amin'ny tanàna rehetra tafiditra amin'ny fanatontosana ny amboaran'ny Konfederasiona 2013 sy ny Mondialy 2014. |
23 | | Ny fifanarahana niaraha-nosoniavina tamin'ny Condor S.A. tamin'ny 26 novambra 2012 io dia manankery hatramin'ny 31 desambra 2014, ary efa niomanana ao ny fandefasana karazam-piadiana isan-karazany ka 2200 ireo kojakoja miaraka tsy mahafaty sy mitifitra akaiky ahitana tsifitra dipoavatra sy roatran-dipoavatra, grenady mandatsa-dranomaso misy puce azo anarahan-dia azy, grenady mankarenin-tsofina ampiasaina ao anaty trano na any ivelany ary grenady mirefotra “sary sy feo”…. |
24 | The organization asks for rules that regulate the use of non-lethal weapons, defining the type of authorized weapons and norms of purchase, control and use, as well as the mechanisms of information to citizens. | Manampy izany ny kojakoja miaraka tsy mahafaty miisa 449 mitifitra akaiky sy bala fingotra ary andiam-bala mihanaka fiantraika ( bala mibontsina rehefa mifandray amin'ny hoditra mba hialana amin'ny fandoahana). Azo jerena ato manontolo ilay fifanarahana. |
