Categories: Latin America, Brazil, Digital Activism, Environment, Human Rights, Labor, Law

Luiz Carlos Azenha, from Vi o Mundo [1] [“I saw the world”, in Portuguese], blogs for the approval [2] of the Congress Bill that changes the Brazilian Constitution to allow for the confiscation of private rural lands where the use of slave work is discovered. Azenha says “It's necessary to confiscate the lands of those who use slave work. The expropriation of lands where slave work is still used is fair and necessary, and is one of the most effective ways to eliminate impunity”.
