LECI BRANDÃO DEFENDS HIP-HOP AFTER CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS BY ED MOTTA

Last Thursday (29), MC Poze was arrested by the Rio Civil Police. Thus, the funk singer filed a Habeas Corpus request for his immediate release. He appealed to the Court of Justice after being arrested at home, in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, and taken handcuffed to the police station, with accusations of association and advocacy of drug trafficking.

In the petition, filed last Friday (30), by lawyer Alexandre Manoel Augusto Dias Júnior, the arrest was based on videos and photos of MC Poze 's performances in communities, and lyrics that mentioned drug traffickers, in addition to the display of armed men claiming that they are "fragile and subjective".

ARREST WOULD HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED BY GENRE SONG SONG BY POZE

The lawyer also claims that the arrest would be motivated by the genre sung by Poze , funk, arguing that there is a 'cultural persecution' against the artist: " It represents a violation of freedom of expression and the exercise of art, especially when it comes to demonstrations originating from peripheral communities ."

According to the lawyer in the document: “ blaming the artist for drug trafficking in the regions where he performs sets a dangerous precedent ”, and questions the police action, which would be selective.

PETITION ALSO MENTIONS HANDCUFFS USED IN POZE

The Habeas Corpus request touches on the crucial point for many criticisms that arose from other funk artists, influencers and fans, due to the improper use of handcuffs during the detention, since there was no resistance on Poze 's part, and that it would have contravened Binding Summary No. 11 of the Federal Supreme Court , which " limits the use of handcuffs to situations of resistance or risk to the safety of the police team ". The Rio Court reported that " The aforementioned HC was filed on 5/30 and will still be judged ".

Since the arrest of Marlon Brendon Coelho, MC Poze do Rodo , on the morning of last Thursday (29/5), rapper Oruam has been posting frequent reports about the funk singer on his social networks. This Friday (30/5), Oruam detailed Poze's routine at the Dr. Serrano Neves Penitentiary (Bangu 3A) , saying that the singer has been mobbed by other inmates and has become a reason for celebration in the unit.

POZE BECOMES THE CENTER OF ATTENTION

Tramp doesn't want to leave his father or even breathe"

In a video, Oruam stated: “Vagabundo is having a party. The whole prison, everyone is happy, people are even forgetting that they are in prison ” , he reported, mentioning the atmosphere in the prison since the artist’s arrival.

According to Oruam, Poze do Rodo was received enthusiastically by the other prisoners, who even asked for autographs. “When PZ got there, just so you can see how things are, man, the guy told me that people are asking PZ for an autograph . Just so you can see how the State works, they put the guy in there and the bum doesn’t even want to let his father breathe,” he said.

DECLARED IDEOLOGY

In the singer's official prison record, the "declared ideology" field was marked with "CV", an acronym for Comando Vermelho — a criminal faction that dominates part of Rio de Janeiro's communities. In the Rio de Janeiro prison system, this term refers to the voluntary identification of a prisoner's membership or connection to a faction , a procedure adopted to avoid confrontations and to guide placement in units under the control or influence of the declared group, according to protocols of the Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration (Seap).

According to Seap, questioning about the “declared ideology” is standard practice for all new entries into the system, with the aim of guaranteeing the internal security of the units, preventing disputes between rival groups.

After being eliminated in the third round of Roland Garros , João Fonseca acknowledged that his lack of experience played a role in his defeat to British player Jack Draper , number 5 in the world. The Brazilian was defeated 3 sets to 0 and said goodbye to the tournament with the best performance of an athlete under 19 in this edition.

It lacked a little more experience..."

Visibly frustrated, Fonseca admitted that he felt nervous and was unable to adapt to the match : “I really wanted to win, I really wanted to go through to the next round, and I was a bit nervous at the beginning of the match. I don’t think there was a lack of effort, I think there was a lack of experience, knowing how to deal with the beginning of the sets, the beginning of the games, maybe playing with more margin”, said the tennis player after the match.

JACK DRAPER'S GREAT GAME

The Rio native struggled at various points during the match, especially when returning serve. Draper won six games on the Brazilian's serve, while Fonseca only had two break chances and didn't take advantage of any of them.

“He (Draper) ended up loosening up a bit more and that ended up putting a bit of pressure on me . I couldn’t find a way to score points right at the beginning. It took me a while to adapt on the court. Maybe I played a bit wrong at the beginning of the sets,” he added.

GRASS SEASON IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE

Now, Fonseca turns his attention to the short grass court season . His first commitment will be the ATP 500 in Halle, Germany, which starts on June 16. Then he will compete in the ATP 250 in Eastbourne, England, before facing Wimbledon, starting on June 30. “ Now it’s time to keep working , talk to the team, visualize the match. Obviously, watch the match again and see where I went wrong and keep working,” concluded the young tennis player.
