PGR opened 208 cases against protesters

PGR instaurou 208 processos contra manifestantes

The Attorney General's Office (PGR) has opened 208 criminal cases against the protesters for vandalizing public property. The Public Prosecutor's Office says it will ask the state for financial compensation.

In the statement we have seen, the PGR says it is investigating murder, bodily harm, damage, incitement to collective disobedience, as well as conspiracy to commit a crime against the security of the state and violent alteration of the rule of law.

The document recalls that it is a citizen's right to assemble and demonstrate within the limits of the law, but "summoning people to alleged demonstrations and instigating non-compliance with the law, tax obligations, the destruction of property of public utility, as well as the failure to notify the authorities of the date, time and procession, constitutes an illegal act".
