ATENÇÃO!!!
Prezados, estive no local para verificar as condições em que os detidos estão. pic.twitter.com/IAboWh0oPv— Marcos do Val (@marcosdoval) January 10, 2023
“We stayed here for three hours and had no access”, Bia Kicis told O Globo, saying they would “form an external commission to monitor the investigations”. Former Bolsonaro minister Jair Marcelo Álvaro said it is important to separate “the wheat from the chaff” and “not arrest innocent people”.
The lawyers Samuel Magalhaes, Hellen Costa, and André Alves, told Revista Oeste that the detention is illegal, Rio Times reports: “”These people are not being detained but arrested. If they have been here since yesterday, where is the custody hearing? There isn’t one.”
According to Magalhães, the children have been taken away from their parents by the regime and removed from the gym.
“Yesterday, I attended to a gentleman with heart problems, who was with an autistic son,” said Magalhães. “They were both in the gym without any medication. There was also a lady who was going to another city, and at the moment the bus with the protesters stopped, she asked if the vehicle was going to her destination. They said yes. She came to the PF Academy and stayed here until 2 am.”
The Brazilan Lawyers association (UNAB – União dos Advogados do Brasil) complained of “imprisonment with torture, hunger, lack of bathroom and water.” UNAB said its was “unbelievable what you see there. Pray for these people, and for our UNAB lawyers who are there together with the OACB lawyers. Information does not arrive correctly and access to people is difficult.” Accoording to UNAB, a colleague has “already filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.”
Informe: o aparente Cárcere c/c tortura, continua, fome, falta de banheiro e água. Inacreditável o que se vê ali.
Orem por essas pessoas, e para nossos advogados DA UNAB que estão lá junto com os advogados da OACB Informações não chegam corretamente e o acesso às pessoas dificil— UNAB – União dos Advogados do Brasil (@_mauriciosp) January 10, 2023
Former VP General Hamilton Mourão criticized the government’s action as “amateurish, inhumane and illegal” and consistent with the “Marxist-Leninist roots” of the new Lula government. He criticized “the indiscriminate detention of more than 1,200 people, who are today confined in precarious conditions in the facilities of the Federal Police in Brasilia.”
Protestors are calling for a nationwide general strike and a “national mega demonstration” starting at 6 pm local time today in all major cities of the country. Protestors called to shut down refineries and fuel distribution centers.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the arrest of Anderson Torres, Bolsonaro’s former Minister of Justice, and Fábio Augusto Vieira, Military Police chief of the Brasilia Federal District, accusing them of dereliction of duty in conjunction to the invasion of the National Congress building on January 8, Brazil in English wrote. Torres is in Florida and has said he will return to Brazil to fight for justice.
Hoje (10/01), recebi notícia de que o Min Alexandre de Moraes do STF determinou minha prisão e autorizou busca em minha residência. Tomei a decisão de interromper minhas férias e retornar ao Brasil. Irei me apresentar à justiça e cuidar da minha defesa.

Moraes has banned protests that disrupt traffic and ordered fines for companies believed to be financing the logistics of the pro-democracy protests. Authorities have sought to freeze Jair Bolsonaro’s assets as well.
Deputy Rejane de Almeida (Communist Party of Brazil) called to “take up arms” to fight the “fascists”.
A video from the “Storming of the National Congress” Jan. 8 seemed to show security forces waving the protestors into the building, in a scene reminiscent of J-6 in the USA:

Surveillance videos seemed to show the Military Police inviting protestors onto the grounds, and black-clad, Antifa-style infiltrators in the National Congress before the protestors arrived:
Arapuca para os patriotas:
1- PMDF convida a virem para a esplanada
2- A entrada dos antifas é liberada ANTES dos patriotas chegarem
3- Os patriotas são liberados para adentrarem os prédios com os baderneiros já instalados para receberem a culpa pelos atos de vandalismo! #Brasil pic.twitter.com/yOk4c3WoVK— Abdilas (@Abdilas171) January 11, 2023
