Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro was rushed to hospital with a police guard after falling ill while under house arrest , his son Flavio said Tuesday.
Flavio wrote on X that his father experienced “a severe bout of hiccups, vomiting , and low blood pressure ,” calling it “an emergency” and asking, “I ask everyone to pray that it’s nothing serious.”
Bolsonaro was sentenced last week to 27 years in prison for plotting a coup after his 2022 election defeat to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. His lawyers have said they will appeal.
On Sunday, he had eight skin lesions removed for biopsies. His doctor Claudio Birolini said Bolsonaro was “quite weak” and had developed slight anaemia, “probably due to poor nutrition over the last month.”
