SAO PAULO (AP) — Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro ’s kidney function has improved but he will remain in an intensive care unit because of pneumonia, a hospital in the capital, Brasilia, said on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The 70-year-old former leader has also been given more antibiotics since Saturday, according to a statement by his doctors.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro, who governed between 2019 and 2022, was taken to DF Star Hospital on Friday from the prison where he is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup attempt in 2023. <\/p>\n

The embattled ex-leader was transferred from the local federal police headquarters to a larger cell in January. His family and allies have repeatedly asked Brazil’s Supreme Court to allow him to carry out his sentence under house arrest. <\/p>\n

The right-wing leader has been hospitalized multiple times since being stabbed at a campaign event before the 2018 presidential election. <\/p>\n

The hospital, which admitted Bolsonaro with high fever, sweating and chills, has also said that his inflammatory markers are increased. <\/p>\n

His son Flávio Bolsonaro, a senator, is expected to run for president later this year against incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n

Jair Bolsonaro was also convicted on charges that include leading an armed criminal organization and attempting the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law. He has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
