Congresswoman Ana Elisa exposes threats of rape and death after being criticized for traveling with a police escort

Ana Elisa Santos Silva (PT), 21 years old, elected the youngest Federal Deputy in Minas Gerais, released an email on social media with death threats, rape and racist attacks directed at her, after receiving criticism for carrying a 24-hour police escort.

According to Ana Elisa, threats and intimidation have been occurring since the electoral period and represent a risk to her physical integrity. In a video published on social media, the deputy showed the content of a message sent by a man who identifies himself as 'Pedro'. See the video above.

Among the excerpts released, the author states that he was waiting for an opportunity to attack her inside her own home.

"Ana Elisa, listen carefully, because I'm already inside your house, waiting for you to open the door so I can pull you out by your hair and throw you against the concrete wall. When the sun hits your face, I'm going to rip that pink blouse off your body, without giving you even a second to scream or beg for mercy."

In another part of the message, the sender describes threats of rape and murder. The content also contains racist attacks related to Ana Elisa's political activities and the representation of black people in the National Congress.

"You deserve this slow, agonizing destruction because you have the audacity to represent baby monkeys in parliament."

Investigation

In October, an investigation was opened by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais (PCMG) and also by the Federal Police (PF) to investigate other attacks aimed at the elected deputy.

g1 contacted the Civil Police to update the progress of the investigations, but did not receive a response until the last update of the article.

The report also contacted the Federal Police, which responded in a note, which does not comment on ongoing investigations.

Threats during the campaign

During the electoral campaign, Ana Elisa also received death and rape threats, as well as racist attacks. The young woman from Divinópolis reported the incident to the Civil Police, which is investigating the case.

In an email received on September 5, the recipient identified himself as a “member of a white supremacist group.” The author mentioned Ana Elisa's personal data to demonstrate that he knows how to locate her and also threatened her family.

The elected deputy released parts of the email on social media. In the text, the author talks about hatred for black women.

"We don't just tolerate black women who think they can represent 'the people' by wearing those ridiculous suits and talking loudly about social justice. We despise them. And specifically, we despise you."

The author also made threats of death and sexual violence against Ana Elisa.

"I'm writing this because I've decided that you deserve the most humiliating end to your political career before I put an end to your entire miserable life."
