| Brief narrative |
Source: COHRE In March 2006, military police forcibly evicted the informal settlement of Jardim Paradiso in the Municipality of Paço and burned down several houses. Some 700 families were affected by the eviction. The belongings of the evictees were collected and taken on trucks to unknown locations. The evictees remained homeless and were not offered alternative accommodation or compensation. Though the property belonged to a private owner, the demand for the eviction came from a lawyer.
