Jair Bolsonaro can leave jail. But he must stay at home. People call this house arrest. Bolsonaro was the President of Brazil before. A court gave him 27 years in prison. He planned an uprising. His supporters stormed important buildings in 2023.
Bolsonaro is 71 years old. He is very sick. He has a bad lung infection. He is in a hospital now. The doctors say: His state is stable. He gets medicine through a tube. People call this an infusion. He needs much help to breathe and move.
The public prosecution agreed to the house arrest. It says: They cannot care for him well in jail. It is better for him at home with his family. A judge must make the final choice. Bolsonaro was in house arrest before. He broke his ankle monitor then. So he had to go back to jail.
