On Thursday 8 August, the STF (Federal Supreme Court) unanimously rejected an action to allow the involuntary arrest of homeless minors and for the detention of children under 12 years old in correction centres. Currently correctional measures only apply to adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age. Children under 12 are sent to the Tutelary Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADI (Direct Action of Unconstitutionality)\u00a0<\/span>3446<\/span><\/a>, issued in 2005, questioned the constitutionality of articles 16, items I and 230 of the Child and Adolescent Statute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lawyer, Guilherme Amorim, who represented Conectas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Abrinq pelos Direitos da Crian\u00e7a and Instituto Pro Bono at the STF trial STF, sees the action to ease the Statute as having the aim of criminalising homeless children and adolescents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe possibility of arresting children and adolescents would represent not only a restriction of freedom beyond legal reasoning, but also the criminalisation of poverty in contravention of the Federal Constitution, particularly article 5\u00ba.\u201d Amorim stressed in his oral statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

In partnership with Amar (Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de M\u00e3es e Amigos de Crian\u00e7as e Adolescentes em Risco), Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Abrinq pelo Direito das Crian\u00e7as, Instituto ProBono, Centro de Direitos Humanos and Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Projeto Travessia, Conectas is\u00a0<\/span>amicus curiae<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0at the trial, presenting technical and legal arguments against the action.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
