Summary
Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro announced he expects to be discharged from the hospital soon after undergoing major abdominal surgery in April for an intestinal obstruction. He plans to attend a rally supporting an amnesty for supporters convicted over the January 2023 riots following his electoral loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, who has faced multiple surgeries since a 2018 stabbing, is also under investigation by Brazil’s Supreme Court for allegedly plotting to overturn the election results, which he denies.
