Brazil’s ex-president Jair Bolsonaro was arrested by federal police on November 22, 2025, after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes revoked his house arrest. The decision followed concerns that Bolsonaro had tampered with his ankle monitor and that a planned mass vigil by his supporters could spark unrest. Bolsonaro is already serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup plot after losing the 2022 election but had remained under house arrest since September. His lawyers condemned the arrest as politically motivated and plan to appeal, while the Supreme Court is set to review the detention order on Monday. (PC: Reuters)
