To: Exmo. Sr. Ministro Nilson Vital Naves President of the Superior Court of Justice SAFS - Quadra 06 - Lote 01 - Trecho III - CEP 70095-900 Brasilia - DF Fax: (61) 319-8193 - 319-8194 - 319-8195 Presidencia@stj.gov.br gab.nilson.naves@stj.gov.br I am writing to express my concern over the detention without charge of land reform activists Jose Rainha and Felinto Procopio dos Santos, who were arrested after testifying before Judge Atis Aruajo Oliveira. I have learnt of serious human rights abuses in the prison. I understand your deep commitment to justice and human rights, and write to urge you to look further into their cases, and offer a fair trial. I urge you to end the decrees of preventative custody elaborated against members of MST that seeks to criminalise their struggle for land reform. I appreciate your urgent attention to these matters. |
