(en) Brazil, Salvador, BA, FAE: Support Note - São Lázaro Community, Every Piece of Ground, Every Stone (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In a violation of the right to housing, the Federal University of Bahia
(UFBA) wants to evict at least 14 families from the São Lázaro
community, with the support of the Attorney General's Office, the
Military Police, and the Federal Police. ---- The repossession order
arrived in the community in the most terrifying way. On October 13th,
the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) mobilized state law enforcement
to intimidate the community, an act that contradicts the university's
labeling of the area as a drug trafficking hub. You read that right! A
public educational institution criminalizes a community of residents to
justify its expulsion from the territory.
Thirty-four institutions, including residents, business owners,
associations, women's groups, religious institutions, and civil society
groups from Salvador, as well as other states, jointly signed a
Collective Statement of Repudiation denouncing UFBA's cowardly attack on
the community and defending land regularization and the right to housing.
Pressure from residents, civil society institutions, and the student
community forced UFBA to backtrack on its decision to evict the
families. However, we cannot be fooled by legal rhetoric that seeks to
deceive the community and deny them effective participation in the
process of land recognition and regularization.
UFBA has a history of reciprocal relations with the São Lázaro
community, whether through the presence of students and faculty in
leisure spaces and popular festivals, or through outreach activities and
social impact research. History shows that UFBA's relationship with the
residents of São Lázaro can be guided by respect and, above all, as a
public institution, working to strengthen the community.
The community of São Lázaro is made up of workers, mostly Black men and
women. However, the occupation of this land dates back to the early 18th
century, still in colonial Brazil, with the formation of a small village
used to isolate enslaved people who arrived kidnapped from Africa and,
due to the inhumane conditions, contracted contagious diseases. (text
