The decision by the S\u00e3o Paulo Military Police, announced on Wednesday (January 7), to encircle the demonstration organized by the Free Fare Movement, scheduled for today, and to search anyone present at the location has been classified by Conectas, Article 19<\/u><\/a> and the Human Rights Center of the S\u00e3o Paulo Public Defender\u2019s Office as \u201cabsolutely illegal\u201d. The announcement was made by Major Larry de Almeida Saraiva, commander of the operation organized to police the event.<\/p>\n

In a document<\/u><\/a> submitted to the State Public Security Department yesterday (January 8), the organizations expressed concern over possible violations of the freedoms of assembly, association and expression.<\/p>\n

In addition to mentioning the \u201ctrack record of repression by the S\u00e3o Paulo Military Police in public demonstrations\u201d, the organizations defended that \u201cthe intention to isolate the demonstrators and indiscriminately search everyone present at the site of the event amounts to a prior censorship for citizens who want to exercise their fundamental rights\u201d. They argue that the decision may be a sign that the \u201cS\u00e3o Paulo Military Police is planning to foil the demonstration instead of ensuring the means necessary for the right of assembly to be exercised\u201d.<\/p>\n

The warning of possible violations was also sent to the State Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office, the State Public Defender\u2019s Office and the Human Rights Commission of the Brazilian Bar Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cEncircling and searching people indiscriminately is an affront to the freedoms and guarantees of the Constitution and international treaties signed by Brazil. If the plan announced by Major Saraiva goes ahead, the state government will be opening another serious chapter in the long list of violations committed against demonstrators,\u201d said Marcos Fuchs, associate director of Conectas.<\/p>\n<\/div>
