📅 4 March 1835 📍 Brazil

On 4 March 1835, Decision no. 60 authorized measures to repress the Malê Revolt, including deporting or exiling people suspected of participation. The decision extended punishment beyond combatants and targeted Black mobility and community life. State repression sought to deter future collective action through surveillance, forced removal, and exemplary punishment. Its wording reflects the government’s security logic; it does not establish that every person deported was involved in the uprising.
