A report published Tuesday (Sep 17) by NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW) says that groups deforesting the Amazon have made threats and committed murder to invade the land owned by traditional communities.
The international Human Rights Watch (HRW) said it will “closely monitor” the government of President-Elect Jair Bolsonaro, of the Social Liberal Party (PSL).
While São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have taken action to curb unlawful use of lethal force by police, the number of such killings has increased dramatically in the past year. The number of police killings increased 97% in São Paulo and 40% in Rio.
