Israa Farhan
Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has been granted financial compensation for the torture she endured under the country's military dictatorship, according to Brazilian media.
The South American nation's Ministry of Human Rights officially recognized Rousseff as a politically persecuted individual and awarded her 100,000 Brazilian reais (approximately 17,720 US dollars). The decision was reported by Brazil's TV Globo.
Rousseff, who
served
as president from 2011 to 2016, was arrested in 1970 at the age of 22 for resisting the military regime. During nearly three years in prison, she was repeatedly subjected to torture by military forces.
Brazil's military dictatorship spanned from 1964 to 1985. According to the National Truth Commission, more than 400 people were killed and thousands were tortured during this period.
Rousseff had previously received a total of 72,000 reais in compensation from the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rio Grande do Sul, where she was also tortured. She later donated those funds to social organizations.
