RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Four Brazilian lawmakers announced on Wednesday they filed a case at a court of Organization of American States (OAS) to end the impeachment process against suspended President Dilma Rousseff.

The impeachment process is irregular say the four lawmakers, including three members from Chamber of Deputies and Senator Telmario Mota, in the file to the OAS Inter-American Court for Human Rights.

The impeachment process was established in an illegal manner by former President of Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, they argued, and Rousseff was not allowed a full defense.

The lawmakers also noted Rousseff did not commit any financial crimes as accused.
