Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, is interrogated by the military [circa 1970].

Dilma Rousseff is the current President of Brazil, the first woman to hold that office.  She was arrested in 1970 as a member of COLINA, a far left organization that fought against the military junta.   Dilma was tortured for 22 days and spent 3 years in prison.  She studied economics and became involved in more moderate leftist politics, leading to her appointment as Minister of Energy.  On January 1, 2011 Dilma took office as president.

There’s so much awesomeness to this picture.

I think my favorite part is how the responsible people for judging her, are hiding their faces, afraid of what can happen to them. It’s beautiful how she was punished for her beliefs, and yet, didn’t try to hide it from anyone.
