Inês Etienne Romeu

Inês Etienne Romeu is known as the only survivor of the clandestine torture facility known as the 'Casa da Morte' in Brazil. During the military dictatorship, she endured extreme violence and humiliation while being held captive, ultimately escaping by feigning compliance with her captors. Her courageous actions led to the exposure of the torture practices at the Casa da Morte, and she has since been recognized for her bravery in speaking out against the atrocities committed during this dark period in Brazilian history. A future memorial will be named in her honor to commemorate the victims of political repression.
