Edson Luís de Lima Souto (February 24, 1950 – March 28, 1968) was a
Brazilian teenage student killed by the
Military Police of
Rio de Janeiro after a confrontation in the restaurant Calabouço , in downtown
Rio de Janeiro. Edson was one of the first students killed by the
military dictatorship, and the aftermath of his death marked the beginning of a turbulent year for the regime, which ended with the enactment of
AI-5, a decree restricting most of the basic
human rights guarantees.
