Brazil's Supreme Court Suspends Law Potentially Reducing Bolsonaro's Prison Term
Brazil's Supreme Court has suspended a law that could significantly reduce the prison sentence of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The legislation, which was enacted after being vetoed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and subsequently overturned by Bolsonaro's allies, aims to shorten the waiting period for sentence reductions for those convicted of plotting coups. Bolsonaro, currently serving a 27-year sentence for his role in a coup attempt following the 2022 election, could have seen his release date moved to 2028 under this law. Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension pending a full hearing on the law's constitutionality, following challenges from two political parties and the press association ABI.
