This Friday about 60 people created crowdfunding (crowdfunding platform) to pay legal fees in the case in which Mamadou Bah was found guilty of defaming Mario Machado.
An anti-racism activist was sentenced to 240 days in prison, commuted to a fine of 10 euros a day for defaming a nationalist activist in a case related to the 1995 death of Cape Verdean Alcindo Monteiro in Lisbon. Mamadou Ba called on social networks Mario Mashdo the “killer” of Cape Verdean Alcindo Monteiro, who was killed in Lisbon in 1995 by members of a “skinhead” group in 2020.
On Monday evening, the site had already collected 4,598 euros out of six thousand. Subscribers include journalists, deputies, singers, actors and writers. Among them are Alexandra Coelho, Mariana Mortagua, Marisa Matias, Karlan, Dino d’Santiago and Sofia Aparicio.
The platform states that “when justice fails, and when it is carried out by the people, it can always fail and contributes to the normalization of hatred and racism, helping to whitewash the past and present of those who support political ambitions and demands from citizens.” To contribute to fixing it. It is intolerable to us that neo-Nazis use the rule of law to suppress the truth and denounce resistance to racism.”
