At a time when the leadership of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is being tested over the handling of coronavirus, the country's police are employing a contentious security law to crackdown on the critics of the president. The dictatorship-era law is being widely opposed by lawyers and activists who are providing legal assistance to those booked by the police. Protestors marched in the capital on Friday against the detentions.
