Demonstrators hold crosses to represent people who have died of COVID-19 behind the Portuguese phrase "Bolsonaro genocide" as they protest the president's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic outside Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia, Brazil, Friday, March 19, 2021.
The national security law, which dates from 1983, near the end of the country’s military dictatorship, states it is a crime to harm the heads of the three branches of government or expose them to danger. That vague definition has recently been used to detain or investigate Bolsonaro critics.Geography teacher Katia Garcia said she showed up in front of the president’s office Friday because the arrests had inspired her.
Both demonstrations in Brasilia called for Bolsonaro’s impeachment due to his administration’s alleged failings in the pandemic, which has caused almost 290,000 deaths in Brazil. The country has reported nearly 3,000 deaths each day this week. Brasilia police said Thursday that the four detained protesters violated the national security law “as they showed a Swastika in association to the symbol of the president of the Republic.” But Brazil’s federal police force, which decides whether cases brought by local police deserve to go ahead in national security crimes, dismissed the case and released three of the four demonstrators. One was held on an outstanding warrant from a previous case.
On Friday night, unsuccessful presidential candidate Ciro Gomes said the federal police are investigating him for calling the president “a thief” in a radio interview in November. The request for the probe was signed by Bolsonaro himself, Gomes said on his social media channels. Neto, who was named by Time magazine lasts year as one of the world’s 100 most influential people, was also targeted in November with allegations of corrupting minors. Those charges were also dropped.

Welcome to the club of Countries that are committing Genocide, signed, USA.
People are not happy with Bolsonaro; thousands are dying cause he is incompetent but the term “genocida” is strong; it’s used by the oposition.
Kkkkkk
Remember when the UN wasn't fucking useless to prevent the fucking world leaders from turning into jackbooted dictators?
All twelve of them 😂😂
Future generations, more so than current ones, are in big trouble if current leaders are not changed (peacefully of course)! This is a scary time. Very reminiscent of the lead up to the Great War. Do I think that’ll happen? No. But it’s unbelievable that we still haven’t learned.
saramimeonjeoda It's just a small number of people and nothing more.
This Man is a threat to the world with his backwards policies on... everything (but especially the environment)
Brazil asks for help. We die almost 3,000 a day. We are reaching 300 thousand deaths by covid-19. Fanatics still deny the virus.
The best choice I've made this year was investing in cryptocurrency and forex trading and earning from home. With the help of Kellybrian_ I've been earning $ 23k weekly I've never regretted this decision. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
