This is a long shot, but if anyone here knows how to seek expedited immigration or asylum from Brazil into the EU, that information is urgently needed by friends of mine.

Capsule version: they have credible fear or persecution and harm under Bolsonaro, and any information that can get them out of harms way as they try to flee would be incredibly valuable right now.

@Goldkin I looked into this and sadly immigration authorities here in Iceland are pretty terrible. I'm not sure they're good anywhere but if they find a country they're likely to be granted asylum in I think it would be best if that were the first destination in the EU or EEA because of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_R
If someone applied for asylum here having come through say Portugal, authorities here would likely send them back there.
