Brazil Supreme Court rejects request to free ex-leader Lula

Bras�lia, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Jun, 2019 ) :Brazil's Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a request to free leftist icon Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from prison while they consider whether the convicting judge was biased in his case.

The court voted 3-2 to postpone debate on whether Justice Minister Sergio Moro had been impartial when he handed Lula his first conviction in 2017 and dismissed a petition to let Lula out of jail until then.
