Deportees from US Arrive in Brazil Handcuffed; Authorities Demand Immediate Removal
In a shocking incident, Brazilian nationals deported from the United States returned to their homeland handcuffed throughout the flight, raising concerns about their treatment. Upon landing, Brazilian authorities promptly ordered the removal of the restraints, deeming the situation unacceptable.
The deportees reported being denied basic necessities like water during the journey, adding to the ordeal. “It was degrading and inhumane,” one returnee stated. The incident has sparked outrage, with human rights groups calling for a review of deportation protocols and better treatment of individuals in transit.
The Brazilian government has expressed its commitment to investigating the matter and ensuring the dignity of its citizens, even under such circumstances.
