"Gilda" faz greve de fome no xadrez. Diario do Paraná - Polícia. Curitiba, 27 de fevereiro de 1981. Página 6, 2º Caderno.

At the request of Anfrísio Siqueira, Gilda was arrested by the police in 1981 so she couldn't take part in carnival because her presence would jeopardize a "trade promotion". While human rights organizations interceded for her release, Gilda went on a hunger strike and screamed for freedom.
