Jair Bolsonaro requests leave from house arrest for dental appointment

Jair Bolsonaro, currently under house arrest in Brasília, has entered a new phase of physical recovery following shoulder surgery. According to medical reports submitted to the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the former president is performing elastic band exercises three times per week as part of a protocol established on August 10. Physiotherapist Kleber Antonio Caiado de Freitas noted that Bolsonaro is in good post-operative condition.

Separately, Bolsonaro's defense has petitioned Minister Alexandre de Moraes for authorization to leave his residence for a dental appointment scheduled for Friday, August 21, at 2:00 p.m. The defense requested that he be treated by Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, the wife of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro remains under judicial restrictions, including a prohibition on social media use and a ban on receiving visits from Senator Flávio Bolsonaro following the disclosure of a letter written by the former president.
