Bolsonaro seeks STF permission to receive sons for Father's Day amid visitation ban

Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered a 30‑day suspension of visits to former president Jair Bolsonaro while he serves a home‑detention sentence, also barring the use of the internet and any political‑electoral communications. The ban was imposed after Bolsonaro’s son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, posted a handwritten letter by the ex‑president on social media.

Bolsonaro’s legal team filed a petition with the STF asking for an exception on 9 August, Father’s Day, to allow his sons Carlos, Jair Renan and Flávio to visit him. The request is framed as a humanitarian measure to preserve family ties and cites the special significance of the holiday. The court gave the Procuradoria‑Geral da República five days to issue an opinion on the appeal, and a decision on the visitation request is pending.

The case highlights the ongoing restrictions placed on Bolsonaro, who was sentenced to 27 years for involvement in a coup‑plot, and the legal debate over the balance between punitive measures and basic family rights.
