(en) Brazil, OSL: Free the political prisoners of the Moinho favela! (ca, de, it, pt, tr) [machine translation]

Date Thu, 9 Oct 2025 09:44:28 +0300


On Monday morning, the São Paulo government took another authoritarian step in the Moinho favela, the last favela in the city center. Police commanded by Governor Tarcísio Freitas and his watchdog, Public Security Secretary Guilherme Derrite, with the support of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the judiciary, arrested community leaders in a high-profile operation amid allegations of numerous abuses.

Tarcísio's policies become clear when considered in context: he is accelerating his offensive in downtown São Paulo after being defeated by the Moinho struggles in May, and is seeking to consolidate his authoritarian image among the far-right, just as Bolsonaro faces trial in the Supreme Court for attempted coup, a year before the elections.

In total, 11 people were arrested based on fabricated charges and fabricated evidence. The police and the Public Prosecutor's Office are trying to criminalize popular leaders, workers, and those who had the courage to confront the eviction policy that threatens nearly a thousand families.

The headlines in major newspapers were tailor-made to trumpet Tarcísio's victory against drug trafficking, amidst the dispute with the federal government. Ultimately, this is what it amounts to: a political dispute between the powerful at the service of real estate capital, willing to trample the lives of those who dare to oppose it. Meanwhile, the real management of drug trafficking is carried out in offices on Faria Lima Avenue, political offices, and apartments in wealthier neighborhoods.

We cannot remain silent in the face of the criminalization of poverty and the popular struggle! We call on everyone to join the demonstration taking place this Wednesday, the 10th, at 5 p.m., at the entrance to the Moinho Favela, for the release of political prisoners!
