Trade unionists and supporters of democracy  joined together outside the Brazilian embassy in Brussels to show their support and protest against the unfair treatment he has received. Lula’s case has been taken to the UN Human Rights Council, by his lawyers, as he was founded guilty on the on the basis of little to no evidence. His human rights have been violated and his right to freedom has been denied. The European Public Service Union  stands in solidarity with our Brazilian colleagues and sends all its support.
