The so-called Dosimetry Bill is a complete fraud that changes nothing for January 8 defendants while legitimizing Supreme Court abuses. The bill maintains all convictions, doesn't reduce sentences, doesn't guarantee releases and simply hands power back to the same court that committed the violations in the first place. Congress is abandoning its own base and officially rubber-stamping judicial persecution with this sham legislation.
The Dosimetry Bill represents a necessary political compromise to decompress toxic polarization and allow Brazil to move forward into 2026. The legislation gives the judiciary and those convicted on January 8 the possibility to reevaluate sentences, particularly for those who played minor roles in the events. This balanced approach addresses concerns about disproportionate penalties without forgetting what happened.
