Security forces in Brazil have detained at least 1,500 people after supporters of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in the Brasília.
Thousands of demonstrators ransacked the Congress building, presidential palace and Supreme Court.
Bolsonaro lost the presidential election to left-wing Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in October 2022. Many of his supporters have refused to accept the result and some have been camping outside army buildings around the country calling for a military intervention to overthrow the government.
Bolsonaro has denied encouraging Sunday’s attack.
