European Court of Human Rights rejects five complaints against Portugal By TPN/Lusa, in News, Crime · 03-04-2021 17:04:00 · 1 Comments
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) considered on 1 April inadmissible for consideration five complaints filed against Portugal in this European instance, due to prior agreement between the parties and insufficient grounds.
One of the complaints that the ECHR considered inadmissible is the case filed by judge Lúcia Lobato, who was detained in Timor-Leste and was subject to disciplinary proceedings in the Superior Council of Magistrates, which, according to the complainant, exceeded a reasonable period of time.
The court considered that the request of the magistrate did not meet the conditions to be considered and declared the complaint inadmissible.

SÃO PAULO – In a year the Black Lives Matter movement spread across the globe, Brazilians are beginning to focus on the role the Catholic Church played in the institution of slavery in the country.
Slavery was legal in the South American country from its founding as a Portuguese colony in the 1500s and continued after Brazil gained its independence as the Empire of Brazil in 1822. Slavery wasn’t abolished until 1888, over 20 years after the United States.
