Note on this entry
Lei nº 13.260/2016. Terrorism requires the special purpose of provoking social / generalised terror, exposing to danger person, patrimony, public peace or public safety, for reasons of xenophobia, discrimination or prejudice of race, colour, ethnicity or religion. Art. 2 §2 excludes conduct by social movements / unions in defence of rights. Only art. 2 §1 is equated to a heinous crime.

Not legal advice. This range is the statutory penalty as written in the law — it is
not “your sentence.” What is NOT accounted for here: Priors, concurrence with the underlying violent crimes (threat / violence sanctions apply cumulatively), discretion, plea-type agreements. If you face a real
charge, consult a licensed lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
