The house arrest follows Bolsonaro's clear violations of court orders designed to prevent obstruction of justice during his coup trial. Justice Moraes appropriately enforced restrictions after Bolsonaro used Sunday rallies to circumvent social media bans and continue attempts to coerce the Supreme Court. The law applies equally to all defendants regardless of political status.

The house arrest represents another escalation by an authoritarian judge who uses Brazil's institutions to silence political opposition. Justice Moraes continues his persecution of Bolsonaro despite facing U.S. sanctions and massive public demonstrations against his actions. This judicial overreach threatens democracy and basic due process rights.
