Ministry of Human Rights calls for investigation of threats against elected deputy Ana Elisa

On Saturday (7), after receiving criticism for traveling with a police escort, Ana Elisa posted an email on social media with death and rape threats, as well as racist attacks, sent to her (see video above).

According to the MDHC, the elected deputy is being accompanied by the Program for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, Communicators and Environmentalists (PPDDH), aimed at people at risk, vulnerability or victims of threats. Monitoring has been carried out since October 9, after the first round of elections.

Also according to the ministry, the program, which in Minas Gerais works in partnership with the state government, involves risk analysis, protective measures and forwarding of complaints to the competent authorities, for eventual accountability of offenders.

Since the first round of elections, when she was elected the youngest federal deputy for Minas Gerais, Ana Elisa has exposed death and rape threats that she receives over the internet. She even deactivated her X account after the attacks intensified.

On October 9, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security asked the Federal Police (PF) to open an investigation to investigate the threats against the elected parliamentarian.

In a video published on social media this Saturday, Ana Elisa showed the content of an email sent by a man who identifies himself as "Pedro". In one of the excerpts, he stated that he was waiting for an opportunity to attack her at home.

In another part of the message, the man made threats of rape and murder. The content also contains racist attacks related to the parliamentarian's political activities.
