Danilo Gentili was ordered jailed for a lewd video. He says he was protesting censorship.
By Shannon Sims May 15 at 6:00 AM RIO DE JANEIRO — Danilo Gentili is one of Brazil’s most popular — and most offensive — comedians, with a late-night talk show and a massive Twitter following. A typical Gentili joke might speculate about this man’s sexual orientation or deride that woman’s weight.
Gentili has cast himself as a martyr to political correctness: “I never imagined one day being sentenced to prison for protesting against censorship,” he tweeted. “My position will always be favorable to freedom of expression,” Bolsonaro tweeted after the court ruled against Gentili. The websites were known for sometimes publishing fake stories. Almeida said, “The willingness of the judge to go so far as to ask for a site’s story to be removed demonstrates a bigger problem: Brazil’s judiciary is losing its grip on preserving democracy.”Bolsonaro, of course, has drawn international attention for his provocative and sometimes offensive commentary.
Alan Mansur, the former director of Brazil’s Association of Federal Prosecutors, said Bolsonaro overstepped his authority.
