Bolsonaro House Arrest Ruling Shifts As He Goes Into Custody

November 22, 2025 6:39 am

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was detained by federal police in Brasilia on Saturday, ending more than three months of house arrest while he continues to appeal a Supreme Court conviction linked to efforts to overturn the 2022 election result. His lawyer confirmed the detention.

The move adds fresh tension to a political and legal saga that has dominated Brazil’s national debate since Bolsonaro left office. It also places new attention on his appeal process, which has not yet exhausted all available stages, meaning the final arrest order in his coup plot case has not been issued.

Ukraine Allies To Press Trump Peace Plan At G20 Amid Kyiv Fears

November 22, 2025 5:40 am

How Justice Omotosho Goofed In Kanu’s Trial—Intro

A 7-Part Exposé on Law, Rights, and Judicial Integrity

 

Introduction: When the Bench Betrayed the Law

 

On November 20, 2025, the Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice James Kolawole Omotosho delivered a judgment that will be remembered less for its reasoning than for its rupture of reason. In the case of Nnamdi Kanu, the court was expected to demonstrate the majesty of law over passion, procedure over politics. Instead, it showcased what happens when a judge mistakes obedience to power for fidelity to justice.

The verdict was not simply …

November 21, 2025 12:49 pm

The UK government is preparing to approve China’s long-sought plan for a vast new embassy complex in central London—one of the largest diplomatic sites anywhere in Europe.

Although a final announcement has not been made, ministers are understood to have received security assessments from intelligence agencies that do not oppose the project. This effectively clears the way for approval, despite intense political and public scrutiny.

The decision formally rests with Housing Secretary Steve Reed, who must treat the application with quasi-judicial neutrality. But given the sensitivity of the issue, MI5, MI6 and senior officials across Whitehall have been heavily involved …

Some have received quiet support from Israel, while others are believed to have indirect backing from elements within the Palestinian Authority.
