Manifiesto de Repudio por el Asesinato de dos Pescadores de AHOMAR

The manifesto condemns the execution of AHOMAR leaders Almir Nogueira de Amorim and João Luiz Telles Penetra in June 2012, linking the violence to their opposition to the Petrobras COMPERJ petrochemical complex. It details a history of threats and previous unsolved murders of fishers and demands state protection, the reopening of a local police post, and negotiations between Petrobras and the fishing community.

• In June 2012, AHOMAR leaders Almir Nogueira de Amorim and João Luiz Telles Penetra (Pituca) were murdered; their bodies were found bound near the beaches of São Lourenço and São Gonçalo in Rio de Janeiro.
• The violence against AHOMAR members is linked to their opposition to the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ), a Petrobras project and part of the Growth Acceleration Plan (PAC), which they argue undermines artisanal fishing in Guanabara Bay.
• Prior to the 2012 murders, other AHOMAR members were killed in unsolved crimes: Paulo Santos Souza was shot in the head in May 2009, and founder Márcio Amaro was murdered in 2010.
• Threats intensified in late 2011 and early 2012 after AHOMAR opposed a Petrobras and INEA proposal to turn the Guaxindiba River, located in the Guapimirim Environmental Protection Area, into a waterway for transporting COMPERJ equipment.
• The manifesto demands several actions, including the identification of the killers, the institutionalization of a State Program for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders by Governor Sérgio Cabral, and the immediate reopening of the Police Ostensible Detachment (DPO) at Playa de Mauá.
