Brazilian civil society organizations forwarded this Thursday (13) a complaint to the Special Rapporteur of the Human Council on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers of the United Nations regarding the threats and pressures faced by the attorneys of Brazil’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s office (MPF) and by a Federal Judge of the city of Altamira, Pará related to the auction of the Belo Monte dam. In April, the General Attornies Terre Cláudio do Amaral, Bruno Alexandre Gütschow, and Ubiratan Cazetta presented two public civil actions to suspend the auction outright. The Federal Judge Antonio Carlos Almeida Campelo admitted the civil actions that claimed the insufficient implementation of public hearings with indigenous people and affected communities and questioned the lack of data in the project’s environmental impact studies. In addition, they have filed a civil action for misconduct against the administrative official from IBAMA, which released the auction despite the lack of data in the studies.
