Widow of 8/1 prisoner killed in Papuda asks Moraes to be removed

This Wednesday (6), the defense of Mrs. Edjane Duarte Cunha – widow of businessman Cleriston Pereira, who died in Papuda after warnings about her health status were ignored by the STF – asked the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) that the minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes, be removed “immediately” from his duties.

In the request, Ms. Edjane’s defense accuses Moraes of mistreatment, abuse of authority, torture and omission for not granting Cleriston provisional release even with a favorable opinion from the PGR.

“The complaint that is required against Minister Alexandre de Moraes and which will be, without a shadow of a doubt, the most robust proof of the survival of Democracy in Brazil – if not the only one, as, otherwise, it can never be said that, in Brazil , everyone is equal before the Law, since the official existence of a caste society will be proven here, where Ministers of the STF are above all Law -, for it to be efficient, a demand that also requires immediate removal of this Minister from his duties, whether in the case of the need for an investigation or in the case of a direct criminal action (after all, everything reported in this representation is sometimes proven as a matter of law and sometimes proven through the documents attached here), as well as all possible measures that may be necessary to safeguard the good result of this fundamental criminal prosecution”, says an excerpt from the request signed by lawyer Tiago Pavinatto.

When participating in a hearing at the Chamber’s Financial Inspection and Control Committee (CFFC) on violations of the human rights of 8/1 prisoners, on Wednesday (6), Pavinatto stated: “Either we arrest Alexandre de Moraes or he arrests Brazil.”

“Affronts to the Law are inexcusable from any angle that is analyzed, so that any justification launched to defend the Minister’s indefensible conduct will not deserve any other name than turpitude”, says another excerpt from the request sent to the Attorney General of the Republic, Elizete de Paiva Ramos.
