Overview
- Human Rights and Citizenship Minister Macaé Evaristo signed two portarias on Jan. 9 conferring political amnesty status on Ivo and André Herzog.
- The acts are slated for publication in the Diário Oficial da União on Monday, Jan. 12, according to government officials.
- Upon formalization, each brother becomes entitled to an official state apology and R$100,000 in indemnity.
- The decision follows the 2024 posthumous amnesty for Vladimir Herzog and the recognition of his widow, Clarice, by the Comissão de Anistia.
