Brazil's Supreme Court Denies Jair Bolsonaro's Request for Home Confinement
Brazil's Supreme Court has denied former president Jair Bolsonaro's request to serve his prison sentence at home instead of in prison. Bolsonaro's lawyers argued that his health was at risk due to recent surgeries, but the court ruled against the request. Bolsonaro, who served as president from 2019 to 2022, has been hospitalized for over a week for health issues related to a previous stab wound. Despite his health concerns, he is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon and return to prison. In September, Bolsonaro was found guilty of plotting to remain in power after losing the 2022 elections.
