The President emphasised humanitarian reception for Venezuelans, a stance that is in direct contrast to the 55 thousand people who have requested protection in Brazil and have not been conceded refugee status.
Civil society organisations discussed the militarisation of public security and the execution of Marielle at an event in parallel to the 39th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
In addition to Monica Benício, Marielle’s widow, representatives of Brazilian civil society and members of UN special procedures also participated in the meeting.
