Two Brazilian women in Poland threatened with deportation over Lula sign
Original: Two Brazilian women living in Poland were threatened with deportation on charges of displaying "communist" propaganda. O
Two Brazilian women living in Poland face deportation threats after authorities accused them of displaying communist propaganda. On October 4, the day of Brazil's presidential election, they posed for a photograph outside the Brazilian embassy in Warsaw making the 'L' sign in support of candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The case has drawn criticism from those who see it as an excessive interpretation of Poland's laws against communist symbols, applied to a pro-democracy election gesture.
Why now: The incident coincides with Brazil's contested presidential election between Lula and Bolsonaro, drawing international attention to the women's threatened deportation.
