Brazil Supreme Court justice suspends law that could reduce Bolsonaro's prison sentence

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes suspended a law passed by Congress in December that would have reduced prison sentences for those convicted in the 2022 coup plot, including former President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison in September 2024. De Moraes ordered the suspension pending a full court hearing on the law's constitutionality.
