Summary
The document is a sample letter designed for human rights organizations to urge the Brazilian government to investigate the 'Guapoy Massacre' and protect the territorial rights of the Guarani and Kaiowá peoples in Mato Grosso do Sul.
Key insights
- The document highlights a pattern of violence and rights violations in Brazil, specifically citing the murders of Bruno Pereira and Dom Philip, as well as an illegal eviction on June 24 against areas retaken by the Guarani and Kaiowá.
- The text attributes the lack of progress in guaranteeing indigenous rights to government policies, including the dismantling of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) and a failure to protect territories from mining and agribusiness.
- The letter demands four specific actions: a detailed investigation into the Military Police operation known as the 'Guapoy Massacre', protection and health care for victims' families, the establishment of dialogue roundtables for conflict mediation, and a moratorium on evictions until territories in the State are demarcated.
