X004-BRASIL MANIFESTACION BOLSONARO
STORY: Former President Jair Bolsonaro joined supporters in a motorcycle rally on Tuesday (July 29) in the capital Brasilia.
The former president, who is banned from using social media and is wearing an ankle bracelet by order of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, led a motorcade followed by hundreds of motorcyclists. He did not make a speech.
Bolsonaro has not given interviews and claims he cannot speak to the press after a decision by Moraes.
Justice Moraes, who oversees the case in which Bolsonaro is charged with plotting a coup, has kept in place the restraining orders he imposed on the former president and clarified Bolsonaro is not forbidden from giving interviews.
Last week, the justice threatened Bolsonaro with arrest, saying he breached the restrictions on his social media use - including through third parties - when he talked to journalists in Brasilia.
Brazil's Supreme Court decided on Thursday (July 24) not to order the arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro calling it an "isolated" breach of court-imposed restrictions, but warned he could be imprisoned for future violations.

"This is the ultimate example of anti-democratic behavior in our country. People are being deprived of the right to protest. (Bolsonaro is) a man who only brought benefits to the country during his administration, a man who can go out on the streets, but is harassed by millions of people. It seems ridiculous to me. And I think this will come to an end, and it will be a positive end for our people."
