Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, serving a 27-year prison sentence for attempting to overturn the 2022 election, was hospitalized in an intensive care unit on March 13 with bronchopneumonia. He was transferred from prison after symptoms including high fever, chills, vomiting, and low oxygen levels. Doctors describe his condition as serious and are treating him with intravenous antibiotics. Bolsonaro's family has requested house arrest citing health concerns, but the Supreme Court has denied these petitions. He has a history of health issues linked to a 2018 stabbing and recent hospitalizations.
