• Bolsonaro remains incarcerated on a 27-year, 3-month sentence for leading an attempted coup, housed at the Papudinha facility within the Papuda complex.
• Federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira launched a seven-day, roughly 240 km ‘Caminhada Pela Justiça e Liberdade’ from Paracatu to Brasília to protest Bolsonaro’s imprisonment and recent STF actions.
• President Donald Trump confirmed an invitation for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to join a U.S. ‘Council of Peace’ focused on Gaza, as the Planalto signals caution over the proposal.
