Massive Protests Erupt in Brazil Against Amnesty Bill for Bolsonaro

Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets to protest a controversial bill that could grant amnesty to former President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies. Demonstrators rallied in major cities, including a significant turnout of 42,000 in São Paulo, voicing their opposition to measures that would shield Bolsonaro and lawmakers from legal accountability. Protesters chanted ‘No amnesty!’ as they condemned what they termed the ‘Banditry Bill,’ which some believe undermines democracy and justice in Brazil. Artists and activists have also joined the movement, urging the government to reject the proposal and defend democratic principles.
