Lewandowski does not consolidate the use of handcuffs in the deported Brazilians


The Minister of Justice and Public Security stated that the attitude of the United States was a “clear lack of respect”

The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Ricardo Lewandowski, prohibited the attempt by the United States to keep the Brazilians handcuffed during the deportation flight to Brazil.

The head of the portfolio, according to a declaration issued by the Itamaray palace, reported to the President of the Republic, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), that the measure is a “clear lack of respect for the fundamental rights of Brazilian citizens”.

“From the guide of Lewandowski, the federal police welcomed the Brazilians and ordered the authorities and representatives of the United States to the authorities and representatives of the immediate withdrawal of handcuffs,” says the note.

The government added that the situation was communicated by the general manager PF Andreii Passos Rodrigues. In addition, after learning the situation, Lula ordered the sending of a Brazilian plane (Fab) to “transport the Brazilians to the final destination, to ensure that they can complete the journey with dignity and safety”.

The Ministry of Justice and Public Security also stressed that the “dignity of the human person is a basic principle of the federal constitution and one of the pillars of the state of democratic law, configuring non -negotiable values”.

The deportation flight to Brazil was intended for Confins international airport in Belo Horizonte, but made an emergency landing in Manaus, Amazonas, due to “technical problems”.

The PF also reported that it had received 88 Brazilians in the capital of Amazon who came from the US flight and confirmed that she had been handcuffed. Passengers were hosted in a limited area of ​​the airport and received food, drinks and mattresses.

“The Brazilians who arrived were welcomed and immediately released by the handcuffs of the PF, guaranteeing Brazilian sovereignty in national territory and security protocols in our country. PF prohibited the Brazilians again held by the US authorities,” said Itamarate .

Yesterday (24), the White House published an image of immigrants chained in the hands and feet as they walked to be deported after the offensive triggered by the President of the United States Donald Trump. In the photo, nine people are brought to the back of a military loading plane. .
