Brazil's Supreme Court Rejects Bolsonaro's House Arrest Plea Amid Coup Conviction

Brazil's Supreme Court has denied former president Jair Bolsonaro's request to serve his 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup under house arrest. Bolsonaro's lawyers cited health concerns, but the court stated his condition had not worsened. The ex-president, who has faced multiple surgeries due to a past stabbing, is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon. He was convicted in September for conspiring to remain in power after the 2022 election loss.
