This article analyzes the indictment of two rural workers, who afterwinning a case in the Labour Court along with other workers were being threatened
with death by the tenant of the Mill Matapiruma Low, in the municipality of Escada,
Pernambuco. In the face of such threats, the worker Luís Inocêncio Barreto, with
the support of the Rural Workers Union, denounced the tenant to the police and
military units. But what the documents show is that these are to treat them as
subversive and tenant as a victim. After that, the police and the watchman of the
mill workers carry an approach that will result in the death of one worker and the
lookout itself, plus injuries to two policemen. The article analyzes how the delegate
responsible for the investigating will change its assessment of the conflict.
