BRAZIL: The government has launched an investigation into a group of miners who killed an indigenous leader in the Amazon during an alleged invasion of protected Wajãpi land, forcing villagers to flee the territory. The murder of Emrya Wajãpi, which took place in the Amapá region on July 23, has been decried by the U.N. as a “worrying symptom of land invasion” in the Amazon. On Monday, President Bolsonaro said that there is “no evidence” on the attack against the Wajãpi tribe chief. Attacks on voluntarily-isolated tribes have been on the rise since Jair Bolsonaro assumed the presidency in 2018. NBC reports that there are over 10,000 illegal miners occupyingindigenous Yanomami land in northern Brazil.
