Brazil's STF and CNJ condemned racist attacks against two black magistrates during a live broadcast and alerted the police to identify those responsible. The bodies requested the breach of data secrecy from the offenders.
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) and National Justice Council (CNJ) expressed repudiation of racist attacks targeting two black magistrates. The incidents took place through comments during a live broadcast by the Judicial School of the Paraná Court of Justice (TJ-PR), featuring CNJ councilor Fábio Francisco Esteves and STF presidential auxiliary judge Franciele Pereira do Nascimento. The offensive comments were blocked, and evidence was preserved. Immediate actions were taken with the police authority in the Loanda Judicial District, including a request to internet providers for a data secrecy breach to swiftly identify and hold the authors accountable. In a joint statement, the bodies declared it “absolutely intolerable that, in the exercise of their institutional functions and in a space dedicated to debating public policies and fundamental rights, criminal offenses are committed that attempt to harm the dignity and the very authority of Brazilian Justice”. They expressed unrestricted solidarity with Judges Franciele and Fábio, praising their excellent careers and public commitment.
