DOPS
Political prisoner.

The Department of Political and Social Order (Template:Lang-pt) or DOPS was a secret police organ of the Brazilian government, notably used by the Estado Novo of Getúlio Vargas and the military dictatorship established by the coup of 1964.[1] The DOPS was established in 1924.[2] It was responsible for controlling and repressing political movements against the government.[3]

Under the military dictatorship installed in 1964, the DOPS was overseen by Sérgio Paranhos Fleury, who was accused of torture and homicide but died before trial.[4]
