In Brazil, a judge from the supreme court has barred a recently passed law that would have reduced the 27-year prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro. The decision was made by Brazilian supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes, who intervened to prevent the law from taking effect.

This move has sparked controversy between judicial authorities and political actors, including Bolsonaro's supporters and opponents. The case raises questions about the balance of power between the judiciary and legislature in Brazil and the legitimacy of judicial intervention in sentencing laws.

The supreme court's ruling is a critical step in the ongoing legal and political dispute over Bolsonaro's punishment and the rule of law in Brazil.
