The research team is also composed by Professor Maria Leonor Esteves (Universidade Lusíada), Professor Ana Guerreiro (FDUP), Major Joaquim Cunha Roberto (Arquivo Histórico Militar - AHM), Professor Jorge Gracia (FDUP) and Professor Pedro Sousa (FDUP).
Through a document analysis focused on the criminal cases available at the AHM, the researchers will seek to understand how the crimes allegedly committed by combatants of the Portuguese Armed Forces were interpreted by the Territorial Military Courts of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea throughout the colonial war (1961-1974).
This research project, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology, runs until September 2024.
