Arbitrary and illegal arrest of student Nicolas Federal Police was used to intimidate the
demonstrators during the protests and is part of the strategy criminalization of social
movements ---- The student Nicolas Pacheco (18) is arrested at that time the
Superintendent of the Federal Police of Curitiba. Accused of "resistance," "contempt" and
"illegal constraint" while participating in demonstration against the privatization of the
HC / UFPR in meeting of the University Council would vote on membership for the largest
public hospital in the Paran? Ebserh (Brazilian Hospital Services). ---- The arrest of
Nicolas is part of a process of criminalization against social movements that intensifies
every day in the country. The young man was brutally grabbed from behind by federal police
officers, handcuffed and equipment and therefore it would be impossible to have committed
crimes they allege against him.
As a 18 year old could afford to embarrass someone, disobey, resist arrest and attack more
than 10 heavily armed federal police and over 8 private security guards, while he was
immobilized, under the effect of pepper spray and handcuffs?
The total maximum penalties of crimes being attributed to Nicolas is 5 years, so he can
only be released by court order.
