Theme: Preliminary injunction from the STJ in the Oruam case — and my opinion
POST (formal, ready to publish, without sources):
The STJ granted a preliminary injunction determining the release of singer Oruam, who will respond in freedom to processes and investigations that include accusations such as trafficking and association for trafficking, among others. The decision is provisional and does not conclude the cases — the merits will continue to be analyzed in the competent instances.
My opinion:
I view with concern the institutional signal that this type of decision sends in a context where criminal factions openly challenge the authority of the State. I respect due process and the presumption of innocence, but I understand that public safety and protection of society need to be considered with utmost rigor when there are serious indications and risks of social intimidation.
I also consider harmful the glorification of crime in widely circulated content — especially when it serves as a backdrop for the display of weapons and for romanticizing factions. Art is free, but freedom is not a license to promote violence.
To the Judiciary, it is necessary to balance individual rights and collective security with prudence and transparency. To the public power, it is necessary to ensure that laws are enforced and that law-abiding civilians do not become hostages of fear.
