These opponents include a formally elected senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others. When we tried to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened to imprison our Brazilian legal representative. Even after she resigned, he froze all her bank accounts. Our challenges to his obviously illegal actions have either been dismissed or ignored.
