Brazil politicians convicted for ordering murder of black activist councilor
Brazil’s Supreme Court on Wednesday convicted two former lawmakers of ordering the 2018 assassination of Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco, a popular black activist whose murder exposed deep ties between politics and organized crime. Franco, an LGBTQ activist who grew up in a favela and became an outspoken critic of Rio’s powerful militia groups, was 38 when she was gunned down in the city center alongside her driver, Anderson Gomes.
