Leonardo Boff, a 79-year-old Brazilian theologian, writer and university professor, an exponent of Liberation Theology in Brazil and known internationally for his defense of the rights of the poor and excluded, was barred from visiting Lula, saying he would not leave until he could see his friend , in Curitiba, in 2018.
Boff traveled to Curitiba to give Lula spiritual assistance and give him a red scarf he had promised to the former president, who has been isolated in a prison cell since April 7, virtually incommunicable.
Alongside him, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize, was barred.
There is an international treaty that guarantees the Nobel Peacekeepers the right to inspect the conditions of prisons.
Today this right was denied.
