“No to the Imprisonment of Lula! Down with the State Coup”

January 21, 2018

It is the scream in the streets all over Brazil. The Network of Intellectuals, Artists and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity joins them in denouncing the political persecution backed by the oligarchy – through spurious judicial processes – to disable the candidacy of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva in the 2018 elections in Brazil.

The Network stands in firm and unrestricted support for Lula, who presided over the government of the Workers’ Party (PT) in that sister nation, when for the first time in its history broad popular sectors of the society finally had hope for a dignified and full life. His administration was able to challenge poverty and hunger by the social redistribution of income and wealth to over 40 million Brazilians. Lula also became an active and supportive force in the international arena in co operation with the nations of the world.

This is about a continued coup, with falsehoods and with the support of media terrorism, it is the same tactic that removed from office the legitimate president Dilma Rouseff.

On January 24, Lula will be condemned for a cause without evidence that will preclude his candidacy, while all surveys have him as the overwhelming favorite to win the presidency again. Lula is innocent, why condemn him? Elections in Brazil without Lula is a fraud!
