Brazil's Supreme Court Bars Senator Bolsonaro from Visiting Father Amid House Arrest Restrictions

The letter urged family unity to support Flavio's presidential campaign. Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced to over 27 years for plotting a coup, is under house arrest on health grounds. Flavio Bolsonaro criticized the decision as disproportionate and election interference.
