Brazil's Bolsonaro discharged from ICU

Brazil's hospitalized former President Jair Bolsonaro has been discharged from the intensive care unit, citing his doctor.



Bolsonaro, 71,had been in intensive care in a Brasilia hospital since March 13 due to bronchopneumonia, a lung infection that spreads from the airways into the lungs, posing problems such as breathing difficulties.



The ex-president has been transferred to a standard room in the hospital, said local news outlets, including G1 and CNN Brasil, citing one of his doctors.



There was no estimate for when Bolsonaro could be discharged from the hospital, according to the reports.



Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election to current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
