The Federal Supreme Court (STF) formed a majority coalition this Wednesday (23<\/span>rd <\/span>of March) to oppose and suspend the effects of decree 9,831\/19, by <\/span>President<\/span><\/i> Jair<\/span><\/i> Bolsonaro<\/span><\/i>, which dismissed all the 11 experts of the MNPCT (National Mechanism for the Prevention and Combat of Torture), thereby making their activities into an unpaid work. The decision was taken under ADPF 607<\/a>, that was presented in 2019 by the then Attorney General of the Republic; Raquel Dodge.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Minister Dias Toffoli; rapporteur of the action, there are six other ministers that considered the measure unconstitutional, listed as; Edson Fachin, Alexandre de Moraes, C\u00e1rmen L\u00facia, Lu\u00eds Roberto Barroso, Ricardo Lewandowski and Rosa Weber.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trial in virtual plenary ends on Friday (25<\/span>th<\/span> of March), but can be paralyzed, should any minister requests a view. If this occurs, the action leaves the virtual plenary and the procedure has to begin all over again from scratch in the physical plenary.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MNPCT is a body that is responsible for monitoring; in addition to prisons, places for children and the elderly, psychiatric hospitals, therapeutic communities and units for compliance with socio-educational measures. It came into existence through Law 12.847\/2013, following international guidelines, which were directly violated by the provisions brought by the decree in question.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Civil society demonstration<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

Several bodies working to combat torture in Brazil participate in the trial as amici curiae. They are; Institute for the Defense of the Right to Defense (<\/span>IDDD<\/b>), Association for the Prevention of Torture (<\/span>APT<\/b>), <\/span>Conectas Human Rights, Global Justice, Educafro National Association of Defenders and Public Defenders (<\/span>ANADEP<\/b>), National Carcer\u00e1ria Pastoral \u2013 <\/span>CNBB<\/b>, Brazilian Institute of Criminal Sciences (<\/span>IBCCRIM<\/b>), Federal Council of the Brazilian Bar Association and Strategic Action Group of State, as well as District Public Defenders in Higher Courts (<\/span>GAETS<\/b>).<\/span><\/p>\n

 \u201cThe provision of unpaid service is totally incompatible with the function performed by MNPCT experts, as it is a complex activity that demands exclusive dedication to ensure that missions and inspections in deprivation of liberty establishments take place in response to the voluminous demand. However, the suspension of salaries greatly resonates as a maneuver to exhaust the National Mechanism and weaken the fight against torture, contrary to the prohibition expressed in the Citizen’s Charter (art. 5, III, CF), which is why the merits of the action must be analyzed, and the device contested and declared unconstitutional\u201d, said the organizations in a document sent to the ministers of the STF.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
