Nazi swastikas are drawn in UFPB bathrooms; rectory repudiates act

Swastikas were found in bathrooms at the Health Sciences Center (CCS) and also at the Exact and Natural Sciences Center (CCEN). From the images, it is possible to see that the symbols were made in red and the other in white.

In a statement, the UFPB said that the university "exists for debate", but "the swastika is not an opinion" and, rather, a "symbol of a regime that persecuted and exterminated millions of people, and its dissemination is a crime in Brazil".

The note also highlighted that "crimes must be investigated and punished in accordance with the law." The institution informed that it will take all appropriate measures. The note also says that "no student, teacher, technician or worker at this University should feel threatened by their faith, their color, their orientation or their identity."

It was not disclosed whether those responsible for the drawings were identified until the last update of this report.

g1 contacted the Federal Police, responsible for investigating cases within the UFPB environment, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report.
