Brazil's Bolsonaro out of ICU, back under house arrest

In the decision, ​Moraes said the house arrest is going to last for an initial period of 90 days.

"After this period, the presence of the requirements necessary for maintaining ⁠humanitarian house arrest ‌will ​be reassessed, including a medical examination if needed," ​the justice wrote.

Lawyers for ‌the right-wing leader, who governed from 2019 ​to 2022, had long sought Moraes' permission for him to serve his sentence under "humanitarian house ​arrest," ​but the justice ​had previously denied all requests.

The reversal ‌comes after Bolsonaro was admitted earlier this month to the intensive care unit of a Brasilia hospital with an acute form of pneumonia. He ​has been discharged from the ICU, a Tuesday ​medical note ⁠showed.
