BRAZIL'S OUSTED LEADER ACCUSES GOVT OF TARNISHING DEMOCRACY

Rousseff says Brazil is suffering from a
"process that is systematically breaking the
constitution."
She spoke in support of her mentor, former
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a day after
a federal judge ruled that he must stand trial
on corruption and money-laundering charges. A
conviction could ruin his chances of running for
president again in 2018 and returning the leftist
Workers' Party to power.
Prosecutors accuse Silva of taking bribes from
a construction company in exchange for
contracts with Brazil's big state-run oil
company Petrobras.
Rousseff spoke Wednesday at a rally for Rio de
Janeiro mayoral candidate Jandira Feghali.
