On January 20 1971, Brazilian civil engineer and former congressman Rubens Paiva was arrested at his Rio de Janeiro home by officials of the country’s military dictatorship. His wife Eunice and 15-year-old daughter Eliana were also taken in for interrogation. They were released — Eunice after a full 12 days — but Rubens never returned home. It was only years later that Eunice — who studied to become a lawyer in her quest to establish the truth of her husband’s fate — learnt the facts around his death.
