Moraes asks PGR for opinion on banning visits to Bolsonaro
Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), gave five days for the Attorney General's Office (PGR) to comment on former president Jair Bolsonaro's appeal against the decision that prohibited him...
Last month, the measure was determined by minister Alexandre de Moraes after senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) published a letter written by the former president on social media. Jair Bolsonaro has a restriction against him that prohibits him from using the internet, including through third parties.
In the same decision, Moraes added that the former president is prohibited from receiving visits for political-electoral purposes until the end of the October elections.
Bolsonaro will also not be able to disclose political-electoral manifestos, including through third parties, by any means of dissemination. In the appeal presented to the STF, the defense maintains that the former president cannot have his freedom of thought and expression of ideas restricted due to his conviction.
Last year, Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison in connection with the coup plot. Then, after undergoing surgery, he gained the right to serve house arrest to recover from bacterial pneumonia.
