First report 6h agoLast update 4h agoSome view the situation as indicative of an authoritarian regime, asserting that citizens have an inalienable right to freedom when faced with such a government.
Justice Mendonça's decision is seen as a necessary action against the 'absurd' and 'surreal' report used by Justice Moraes, with some comparing the situation to Orwell's '1984'.
