British Journalist Charlotte Alice Peet Missing in Brazil for Over 10 Days

A British journalist, Charlotte Alice Peet, 32, has been missing in Brazil for more than 10 days, according to the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents (ACIE). Peet, who had worked as a freelancer for Al Jazeera and British news outlets, last contacted a friend in Rio de Janeiro on February 8, expressing plans to visit the city and find accommodation. However, the friend was unable to host her, and Peet’s family in Britain later reported losing contact with her.

Authorities in Sao Paulo are leading the investigation based on Peet’s last known whereabouts. The ACIE confirmed that her family has provided local authorities with details of her flight to Brazil and a copy of her passport to assist in the search. Sao Paulo’s public security office stated that the case is being handled by the 5th Missing Persons Unit, which is working to locate her and uncover more details about her disappearance.

The foreign press association has urged Brazilian authorities to intensify their efforts to find Peet. Concerns over her safety have grown, with journalists and human rights groups closely following developments. The case has drawn attention to the risks faced by foreign correspondents working in the region.
