Brazil’s Congress has voted to reduce the 27-year prison sentence of former President Jair Bolsonaro, though the highly controversial decision is expected to be appealed. Bolsonaro was convicted of plotting a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election, and the move to shorten his sentence is widely seen as a setback for current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as reported by Liza Kaminov.
