Brasilia, Jan. 9: Brazilian police have gathered at a camp where supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro have settled outside army headquarters in the capital city Brasilia, Reuters witnesses said on Monday.

The heavily armed police, many on horseback, could be seen lining up in front of the camp, where hardline supporters of far-right Bolsonaro could be seen with the green and yellow colors of the Brazilian flag draped over their shoulders. Some began to pray on their knees towards the police.
