Free Lula Vigil

The day Lula was imprisoned. He is in the center in blue shirt surrounded by the people that didn't want him to go.

"On April 7, a year was completed that former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is unjustly imprisoned – charged and convicted of a non-existent crime. Lula, one of the world’s greatest popular leaders, was the victim of an illegal and illegitimate trial that, far from representing any attempt to obtain justice, served from the outset as a procedural fraud aimed at preventing him from competing in presidential elections last year – in which he appeared as a frank favorite in all opinion polls. Lula represents a development model that distributes income and promotes social justice." (read the details here)

Since Lula is imprisoned in the Curitiba State people have surrounded the federal police headquarters where Lula is in prison.
Every morning they say together "Good Morning President Lula". In the afternoon and finally at night: "Good Night President Lula".
Not a single day after Lula's imprisonment this ritual didn't happen.
It is called "Free Lula Vigil". Lula can hear people's saying together as a chorus.
This is a very beautiful action among many that is happening for Lula and for the country for it was Lula who put the country in another level in the international scene which became the fifty economy of the world in his governments. Four million Brazilians were no longer below poverty line.
