Carlos Marighella: This is Carlos Marighella. And this is my message to Brazilian people. The police accuses of being terrorists and criminals, but we are nothing more than revolutionaries fighting an armed fight against the current Brazilian military dictatorship and the North American imperialism. Our goals are the following: Bring down the military dictatorship. Undo all they have done since 1964. Build a revolutionary government elected by the people. Cast the Americans out of our country. Expropriate companies, goods, and properties from them and from their allies. Transform and improve living conditions for factory workers, farmers, and the middle class. Institue the freedom of press, of criticism and of association. End censorship. Remove Brazil's status as satellite for US international policy and make it an independent nation. The dictatorship accuses us of personal attacks and murders, but won't confess it killed Edson Souto, Marco Antônio Brás de Carvalho, Escoteiro, Nelson José de Almeida, among so many other patriots. And won't confess that it submits those they arrest to torture in the pau de arara, electric shocks among other methods that are worse than the Nazis. The means used by the Brazilian dictatorship to reprimend the people are barbaric and despicable. Utilized to defend the interests of the military in the power. No honorable man can accept the monstrosities committed by the regime formed by the military and its armed forces in our country. The National Liberation Action carries on fighting, and shall always do so. This year will the year of the rural guerrilla. The fight has already begun.
