Thousands protest across Brazil against bill that may grant Bolsonaro amnesty, following coup plot conviction. Protesters criticize fast-tracking of bill that could prevent Bolsonaro and his allies from serving jail time. Demonstrators express outrage at a proposed constitutional amendment making it harder to prosecute lawmakers, with protesters in various cities denouncing Congress and demanding transparency. The protests, backed by unions and left-wing groups, drew large crowds chanting "no amnesty" and waving signs condemning the legislation.
