1,500 attackers of the Brazilian Congress have been arrested
Following the attack by supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, on the Congress and the presidential palace, the Brazilian Supreme Court has arrested nearly 1,500 participants in this assault.
The assault occurred one week after Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in as the new president of Brazil.
Da Silva has described this assault as a terrorist attack and has promised to punish those responsible.
Bolsonaro has not accepted his defeat in the election and left his country for the United States before the transfer of power. On Monday, he was hospitalized in Florida due to abdominal pain. The new president of Brazil, along with the heads of Congress and the Supreme Court, have described this assault as a terrorist and criminal attack, and an attempt at a coup and sabotage.
