BRASILIA, Jan 10 — Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said today the country must firmly combat "terrorism” and "anti-democratic people attempting a coup” after supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brasilia earlier this week.

"Democracy will prevail and Brazilian institutions will not bend,” said Moraes, who leads a probe into anti-democratic protests that has already yielded several arrests. — Reuters
