The bill that puts an end to the temporary release of prisoners had its urgent request approved by the Senate plenary this Wednesday (7). With this, the project gains priority on the House's voting agenda, already in the plenary. The expectation is that the matter will be included on the agenda after the Carnival break.
The discussion around the topic gained strength after the death of military police officer Roger Dias da Cunha, shot in Belo Horizonte, in January this year. According to the Secretariat of Justice and Public Security of Minas Gerais, the person responsible for the shooting was a person convicted by the courts.
