Tiradentes

Joaquim José da Silva Xavier (Portuguese pronunciation: [?w?'ki ?u'z? d? 'siwv? ??vi'??]; 12 November 1746 – 21 April 1792), known as Tiradentes (pronounced [t?i??'d?t?is]), was a leading member of the colonial Brazilian revolutionary movement known as Inconfidência Mineira, whose aim was full independence from Portuguese colonial rule and creation of a republic.

When the separatists' plot was uncovered by authorities, Tiradentes was arrested, tried and publicly hanged.Since the advent of the Brazilian Republic, Tiradentes has been considered a national hero of Brazil and patron of the Military Police.
