Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has formally requested a period of house arrest following his conviction for allegedly inciting a coup against the government in 2022. He submitted a formal appeal to the Brazilian Supreme Court, citing the severity of his sentence and seeking a reduced confinement. The appeal argues that the conditions of his original imprisonment were unduly harsh and that a more manageable arrangement would facilitate rehabilitation. Bolsonaro’s request reflects a continued desire to challenge his legal outcome and maintain a degree of control over his personal circumstances. The court is currently reviewing the appeal.
