Brazil Court Rejects Lula Appeal To Run For Presidency

Description

According to Reuters, A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Thursday rejected the latest appeal by jailed former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that he be allowed to run in next month’s election. Justice Edson Fachin, in a decision posted on the court’s website, ruled against the request from Lula’s legal team, which argued that Brazil was required to follow the recommendation of the United Nations Human Rights Committee and allow Lula to run for office from jail. Lula, Brazil’s most popular politician, is serving a 12-year sentence for a corruption conviction.
