According to the newspaper O Globo, around 170 people have been arrested in Brazil after several government buildings were stormed by supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Three of Brazil’s power centers were attacked on Sunday after widespread demonstrations.

After a couple of hours, the police had regained control of Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court in the capital, Brasilia.
