London, UK. 13th August 2018. Brazilians protest outside the Brazilian embassy calling for the release of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a former trade union leader who was President of Brazil from 2003-11 to enable him to stand for election again in October. They say that the right-wing forces who have seized power in Brazil and are pursuing an elitist agenda have brought up highly dubious charges against both Dilma Rousseff and Lula to impeach her for what was not an impeachable offence and to send Lula to prison in an attempt to prevent the Worker's Party (TP) winning in the forthcoming elections. Lula says he intends to run for President from inside jail, and The Workers' Party officially launched Lula as its candidate last week. On August 15th Brazilian activists will mobilise to follow the registration of his presidential candidacy. The London protest was one of those around the world to express solidarity with this and the struggle for democracy and justice in Brazil. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
