We express our solidarity with Professor Adriano Gomes da Silva, who has
been unjustly and arbitrarily arrested by the government of the State ofSão Paulo since September 16. A public school teacher, Adriano was
sentenced to 10 months in semi-open prison for speaking out against
police violence during an eviction in 2018, in which he defended the
rights of the workers and residents involved. ---- Adriano's arrest is a
clear case of political persecution. Accused of "contempt" and
"disobedience" based solely on statements from police officers, he was
tried and convicted without even being notified, which prevented him
from appealing the sentence. His history of fighting for public
education and workers' rights is the real reason behind this conviction,
which seeks to silence an active and combative voice against social
injustices.
Furthermore, the State government had already initiated an
Administrative Disciplinary Proceeding against the teacher, which
resulted in his dismissal in 2020. This episode, combined with his
current arrest, reveals the repressive nature of a policy that aims to
demobilize those who fight for a more just society and for better living
and working conditions.
Adriano is yet another victim of a State that persecutes those who stand
up against oppression and precarious living conditions. We demand his
immediate release and join his fight for justice!
