In Brasilia, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes denied a request from Jair Bolsonaro’s legal team and upheld the house arrest order for the former president. The decision, issued Monday, includes restrictions on Bolsonaro’s use of cell phones and social media, citing risk of flight and the need to ensure legal compliance. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in prison for leading a coup plot following the 2022 elections. The ruling has sparked nationwide mobilizations, with Brazilians protesting against the proposed amnesty and constitutional amendment that would shield Bolsonaro from accountability.
