In Brazil, the Capital under high Protection ensuring Justice for Attack on Democratic Institutions

Security has been stepped up in Brazil’s capital amid concerns that hardcore supporters of the former president Jair Bolsonaro were planning to mobilise again, three days after thousands of extremists launched what the government has called a botched coup attempt.

As new calls to demonstrate on Wednesday evening in Brasilia circulate among supporters of the far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, the authorities have decided to reinforce security in the capital and throughout the country, three days after the ransacking of institutional buildings.

Brazilian authorities should thoroughly investigate all those who have incited, financed, or committed acts of violence in an attempt to negate election results, Human Rights Watch said today when releasing its World Report 2023. The effort to negate election results culminated in the January 8, 2023 attack on democratic institutions in Brasilia.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva should respond to the unprecedented assault on January 8 by strengthening democratic principles, upholding the rule of law, and tackling chronic human rights problems that were made worse during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro.
