According to a recent report by Brazilian Forum on Public Security, more people have been murdered over the past years in Brazil than in the Syrian.

Political analyst, Jorge Mascarenhas Lasmar in an interview with Sputnik said “The statistics say that every nine minutes one person is killed in Brazil. It is really staggering,"

According to Lasmar, who is also a Professor of International Politics at the Brazilian Catholic University in Belo Horizonte, the actual numbers might even be much higher. In areas, where the authorities don't have a tight grip of the situation, many killings can go unregistered, he argued.

Replying to the question of why this issue has not been widely discussed in the public, Lamar said that Brazilian society tends to ignore problems that emerge within the country. "I think there is a cultural issue. Brazilians tend to turn a blind eye to domestic problems," the expert stated.

The total number of victims killed amounts to nearly 280,000 people from 2011 to 2015, says a report of São Paulo-based NGO Brazilian Forum on Public Security. Meanwhile, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, around 260,000 people were killed over the same period in Syria.

Lasmar expressed hope that these findings would open the eyes of Brazilian citizens to this problem.
