Biography
Heleno Cláudio Fragoso was born in Nova Iguaçú. He lectured at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. He served as the Vice President of the International Association of Penal Law and of the International Commission of Jurists. In 1966, he was a visiting instructor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (City University of New York).
He was a notable penal lawyer in Brazil, representing many political adversaries imprisoned or murdered during the Brazilian military dictatorship between 1964–1985, including Stuart Angel, Francisco José Pinto dos Santos, and Ênio Silveira, among others. Fragoso was an influential supporter of human rights at that period, denouncing torture applied by the political police even after having been arrested himself by the agents of the regime.
