Initiative of the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship also officialized the monthly pension of compensation and lifetime for the widow, Clarice Herzog
Last Tuesday (18), the journalist was officially recognized as political amnesty for the marking 50 years since his death during the military regime. Herzog’s widow, Clarice, will receive a lifetime monthly pension in the amount of R $ 34,577.89. This decision was backed by a determination of the Federal Court, which pointed to “abundant evidence” of the persecution that Herzog suffered.
Herzog was summoned by the army in 1975 and disappeared after being taken to DOI-Codi. The official version of the time claimed that he had committed suicide, but later investigations revealed that he was tortured and murdered. In 2013, the São Paulo court revised the cause of death in the death certificate, altering it to “injuries and abuse suffered during interrogation.”
In addition, in April last year, the Amnesty Commission acknowledged that Clarice Herzog was also the target of persecution by the state. With this, it was determined that she is entitled to economic reparation, considering the emotional and psychological impact that the situation brought to her life.
The decision of the ministry and the recognition of justice are significant steps in the struggle for justice and reparation for the victims of the military dictatorship in Brazil. Herzog’s amnesty is an important milestone in the country’s historical memory, reflecting the need to recognize and repair the injustices committed during this dark period.
