US EditionSupporters of Brazil’s Bolsonaro protest on Copacabana Beach to defend him after coup charges
- Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's former president, spoke at a demonstration in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, where he called for a gathering of his supporters.
- The rally was officially held to demand amnesty for those convicted in connection with the January 8, 2023, riots in Brasilia, where Bolsonaro's backers stormed government buildings after Lula defeated Bolsonaro in the October 2022 elections.
- Bolsonaro is accused of backing an attempted coup, with prosecutors believing the Brasilia riots were part of a coup plot approved by him, though he was in the United States at the time.
- Bolsonaro, who faces a Supreme Court decision on March 25 regarding his potential trial and a possible prison term of over 40 years if convicted, told journalists in Brasilia this week, "For now, I am a candidate," while also stating that a ban on him seeking re-election amounts to a "denial of democracy".
- Bolsonaro has been declared ineligible to hold public office until 2030 due to unsubstantiated claims of fraud in Brazil's electronic voting system, leading him to claim he is the victim of politically motivated judicial hounding and hoping to have the ban overturned.
