Brazilians rally against possible Bolsonaro pardon and legal changes

Thousands of Brazilians protested across the country Sunday against a potential pardon for former President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies, convicted of a coup attempt. The protests, the largest left-wing demonstrations since Lula's election, followed the lower house's vote to fast-track a bill granting amnesty to Bolsonaro and his supporters involved in the January 2023 uprising and a constitutional amendment hindering prosecution of lawmakers. Prominent artists joined the demonstrations, countering previous right-wing rallies and expressing concern over the legislative proposals. The protests highlight Brazil's deep political divisions following Bolsonaro's conviction.
