Brasilia, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva condemned the invasion of supporters of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro into the country's Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court on Sunday.

They would be punished "with the full force of law," Lula said.

Local media reported Brazilian security forces have retaken the national Congress building from the rioters, while operations were still underway in the Supreme Court headquarters and the presidential offices.
