Thousands of Brazilians have taken to the streets on Brazil's Independence Day, Sept 7th, to protest against Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The protests, which occurred in cities such as Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, are in response to De Moraes' actions perceived as a crackdown on freedom of speech, including an X Ban. Protesters are demanding his removal from office, with chants of 'Moraes out' and 'Jail, Xandão in jail' echoing through the streets. The demonstrations highlight the growing discontent in Brazil over issues of censorship and free speech.
