Entendemos tambйm que tal descabida inversгo dos acontecimentos, que culmina no processo criminal que Marcelo Pomar enfrenta, й um ataque direto nгo sу aos movimentos sociais mas а prуpria democracia.
Pelo acima exposto, exigimos a absolviзгo de Marcelo Pomar e a devida apuraзгo dos agressores e seus mandantes naquele episуdio do dia 16 de fevereiro de 2006.
