"This is the most serious criminal conviction in the history of Brazilian law for this type of crime, which should serve as an example to the world," lawyer says
Tofrani de Hora Lawrence, a Christian priest in Rio de Janeiro who regularly incited against Jews and incorporated shocking antisemitic remarks during his sermons, including calls for a second Holocaust against the Jews, was sentenced to a dramatic 18-year prison sentence last Thursday.
De Hora Lawrence had been documented on many occasions uttering particularly harsh remarks against Jews.
In 2020, among other instances, the priest was documented asking God to slaughter and humiliate Jews.
"Massacre the Jews, God, beat them with your sword because they left you. They went with prostitutes and when they were told to repent they said they would do it but lied. God, you must do what you did in World War II again," he said.
