mobilize against proposals to expand qualified immunity","content":"<div class=\"tts_content_wrapper_1\" ><p>More than a hundred civil society organizations sent a letter this Tuesday, March 2, to the speaker of the Lower House of Congress, Arthur Lira, calling for the rejection of all bills pending in the house to expand what is known as \u201cexemption from illegality\u201d providing qualified immunity to police officers and military personnel.<\/p>\n<p>According to the organizations, the Brazilian Criminal Code already establishes the possibility of exemption from culpability when lethal use of force is practiced by officers due to necessity, in legitimate self-defense, in strict compliance with their legal duty or in observance of the regular enforcement of law.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

inevitably increase the already unacceptably high number of killings by the police, one of the highest in the world,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently at least four bills pending in the
