Jair Bolsonaro‘s Imprisonment and Calls for Amnesty
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is currently incarcerated at the Papuda penitentiary complex in Brasília, following legal proceedings and investigations into his conduct during and after his presidency.
Bolsonaro was stripped of his political rights in June 2024 by Brazil’s electoral court, the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), due to abuse of power and misuse of official communication during the 2022 presidential election campaign. Reuters reports that this ruling prevents him from running for office until 2030. He surrendered to authorities in April 2024 after federal police seized his passport.
