Brazil ex-leader Bolsonaro rallies thousands of supporters to protest his trial over alleged plot to overturn election
Sao Paulo Associated Press — Former Brazilian President Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday attended a public demonstration in Sao Paulo to protest against his ongoing Supreme Court trial in the South American country. A couple of thousand people gathered on Paulista Avenue, one of the city's main locations, in a demonstration that Bolsonaro, before the event, called 'an act for freedom, for justice.' Bolsonaro and 33 allies are facing trial over an alleged plot to overturn the 2022 presidential election results and remain in power. They were charged with five counts related to the plan. The former president has denied the allegations and claims that he's the target of political persecution. He could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted. 'Bolsonaro, come back!' protesters chanted, but the former president is barred from running for office until 2030. Brazil's Superior Electoral Court ruled last year that he abused his political power and made baseless claims about the country's electronic voting system.
