São Paulo protests demand Deolane Bezerra's release
On 21 July 2026, fans gathered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo to demand the freedom of influencer‑lawyer Deolane Bezerra, who has been detained preventively since May 21 on accusations of involvement with organized crime and money‑laundering. The rally was organized by her mother, Solange Bezerra, and featured chants such as “STJ, solta a Deolane” and calls for justice. Deolane’s sister, Dayanne Bezerra, later explained the family’s absence, saying they avoided the protest after learning that “infiltrated” individuals might provoke trouble. The event coincided with the two‑month anniversary of Deolane’s detention, drawing widespread social‑media attention and criticism of the authorities’ handling of the case.
