Tens of thousands of people marched across dozens of Brazilian cities on Sunday to reject a new bill that could lower ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s prison sentence. The legislation, passed by the conservative-majority Congress on December 10 and awaiting Senate ratification, would allow convicted criminals to serve sentences concurrently and reduce parole eligibility from 30% to 17%. Protesters denounced the measure as a maneuver to benefit Bolsonaro, who is serving a lengthy sentence for coup plotting. teleSUR
