Reuters. Members of the Brazilian military dismantled tents set up by supporters of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday (January 9), ahead of a deadline for protesters to leave the encampment near Brasilia's army headquarters.
Brazilian police were deployed on Monday after Sunday's (January 8) storming by thousands of Bolsonaro's backers of Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace, in the worst attack on Brazil's state institutions since its return to democracy in the 1980s.
The Brazilian government provided buses for the protesters to leave before a 1200 local (1500GMT) deadline.
Meanwhile, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital in Florida on Monday (January 9) as more than 1,500 of his supporters were rounded up in Brasilia after storming the capital over the weekend.
Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital in Orlando, Florida with intestinal pains related to a stabbing he suffered during the 2018 election campaign, his wife, Michelle, said on Instagram.
