Goal: We call on the Brazilian Supreme Court and government authorities to ensure a fair, transparent, and independent judicial process in the case against Jair Bolsonaro, and to protect Brazil’s democracy from threats of authoritarianism.
Recent events have highlighted the fragility of democracy in Brazil. Former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest pending trial for alleged coup plotting, has consistently undermined public trust in the electoral process and democratic institutions. Attempts to overturn legitimate election results pose a grave threat to the rule of law and the will of the people.
Despite facing serious charges, Bolsonaro and his supporters continue to spread misinformation and seek to delegitimize the judiciary. International actors, including the former US president, have further inflamed the situation by labeling the proceedings as a 'witch hunt' and imposing punitive tariffs on Brazil, which harms ordinary Brazilians.
We stand with the people of Brazil in demanding justice, transparency, and the protection of democratic values. It is essential that the Supreme Court is allowed to conduct its proceedings free from political interference, intimidation, or international pressure. Upholding accountability for those who attempt to undermine democracy is vital for Brazil’s future and for the global fight against authoritarianism.
