Internationalist solidarity with the Guaraní Kaiowá peoples

The document denounces the "Guapoy Massacre" occurring on 24 June 2022, where Mato Grosso do Sul Military Police conducted an illegal eviction in the Tekoha Guapoy Mirin Tujury indigenous territory, resulting in one death and at least 10 injuries, including a child shot with a 5.56 rifle. It attributes the escalating violence to the struggle for land demarcation against agribusiness and the Jair Bolsonaro government's defunding of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI). The organization calls for international pressure on the Brazilian state to protect Indigenous Peoples and hold illegal actors accountable.

• On 24 June 2022, the Mato Grosso do Sul Military Police carried out an illegal eviction in the Tekoha Guapoy Mirin Tujury indigenous territory, an operation that lasted 12 hours and involved hundreds of agents, vehicles, and a helicopter.
• The police operation resulted in one death and at least 10 wounded people, including a child shot in the abdomen with a 5.56 rifle, a weapon typically reserved for the army in Brazil.
• The Guaraní Kaiowá face systemic violence and conflict because their traditional territories are occupied by agribusiness, while the demarcation of these lands has been paralyzed.
• The Jair Bolsonaro government has weakened the protection of Indigenous Peoples by defunding and diverting the functions of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI), with some agency leaders allegedly favoring agribusiness.
