Court orders Bolsonaro to wear ankle tag and puts him under curfew

Court orders Bolsonaro to wear ankle tag and puts him under curfew

A Brazilian court has ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle tag and adhere to a curfew. The court's decision also prohibits Bolsonaro from using social media and places him under 24-hour surveillance. The ruling comes as part of an investigation into Bolsonaro's alleged role in the January 8th riots in Brasilia, where his supporters stormed government buildings. The court cited concerns over Bolsonaro's potential to incite further unrest as the rationale for the restrictions. The ankle tag and curfew aim to limit Bolsonaro's movements and ability to communicate with his supporters. The social media ban is intended to prevent him from spreading misinformation or inflammatory rhetoric that could contribute to additional civil unrest. The court's measures represent a significant escalation in the legal pressure on the former president, who is facing multiple investigations related to his actions during and after his time in office.
