João Pedro Fagundes
João Pedro Fagundes is an 18-year-old law student at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) who gained attention for his silent protest against a demonstration led by former President Jair Bolsonaro in Copacabana. He created a banner reading 'Sem anistia' ('No amnesty') to express his opposition to calls for amnesty for participants in the January 8, 2023, anti-democratic acts. His act of defiance, which included a silent protest from his apartment window, became a symbol of resistance against attempts to undermine Brazilian democracy, receiving significant support on social media and provoking reactions from attendees of the Bolsonaro rally.
