The rapporteurs may accept the appeal and request information from the Brazilian authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The document, drafted by Conectas Human Rights, the Brazilian Drug Policy Platform, Comuda (S\u00e3o Paulo Municipal Council on Drug and Alcohol Policy) and the Black Initiative for a New Drug Policy, also calls on the United Nations to intervene with the S\u00e3o Paulo municipal government, by requesting that the authorities investigate the abuses and hold the perpetrators accountable, halt the forced evictions of residents and end the compulsory confinement of drug users.<\/p>\n<p>According to the organizations, Brazil violated international human rights standards with disproportionate use of force; cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of drug addicts; forced displacement of the local population; limitations on freedom of movement; lack of adequate health care services; and forced evictions and demolitions without due process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/arquivos\/editor\/files\/Urgent%20Appeal%20Cracolandia_Conectas%20PBPD%20CMunicipal_30may2017.pdf\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to read the urgent appeal in full.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday, May 26, the S\u00e3o Paulo state justice system gave preliminary authorization for the search and seizure of \u201call people in a state of drug dependence\u201d. The authorization was suspended after an appeal was filed jointly by the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the Public Defender\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are witnessing in the region of Cracol\u00e2ndia is an alarming succession of human rights violations. Since the S\u00e3o Paulo state and municipal governments have ignored all criticisms, Brazil must answer internationally for breaching these obligations,\u201d said Henrique Apolinario, a lawyer for the Justice program at Conectas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unacceptable and shameful that we keep on using the police, harassment and coercion to deal with what should be a public health issue,\u201d he
