Caracas, Venezuela, 9 December 2009. Brazilian NGO "Rio de Paz" (Peace River) build a clandestine cemetery at Copacaba to protest for the unresolved cases of 9000 Brazilians this year alone. Protesters set dolls at the beach and partially cover them with sand or burnt. This set was trying to emulated the many dead bodies of Brazilians found in such conditions in clandestine cemeteries. The bodies usually have burnt faces or fingerprints  making their identification harder.

According to local newspaper O Dia, the NGO is recalling that 60 years after the Human Rights Declaration was issued, Brazilian Society should be discussing the reasons behind these sad deaths or "disappearances".
