It also considers the fact that a suspect was wearing a mask at a demonstration to be an aggravating factor. Whichever way you look at it, the bill is alarmist and casuistic, treating the exercise of fundamental rights as a crime,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/institutional\/biography-of-the-justice-program-coordinator-rafael-custodio\"><u>Rafael Cust\u00f3dio<\/u><\/a>, coordinator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/actions\/justice\"><u>Justice<\/u><\/a> Program at Conectas.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Commission meets every Wednesday, the organizations had anticipated that the bill would be voted today, but this did not happen.
