Immigrants deprived of liberty 

Immigration detention
DNU 70/2017

Changes made to the migration policy through the approval of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency Nº 70/2017 (DNU), gave shape to some practices carried out by the Migration National Direction, which represent serious violations to the Human Rights of this collective . In the framework of the collective protection, the PPN expressed its opinion as Amicus Curiae –still under litigation. From a Human Rights’ perspective, four main setbacks were observed in terms of the accessibility to rights:

- Immigrants’ detention
- Right to defense
- Waiver
- Constitutional warranties
