”Jair Bolsonaro’s government blocked 30% of the Brazilian environment agency’s budget for preventing fires, according to an internal document seen by Unearthed.

But there is another: the massacres of Carandiru and Carajás were considered qualified homicides, which makes them heinous crimes that cannot be pardoned.
