On 2nd December, Guarani indigenous leader and filmstar Ambrósio Vilhalva was found dead in his hut. He had been stabbed to death.
For years he campaigned for his tribe’s right to live on their ancestral land in central western Brazil. In 2004, he led his community, known as Guyra Roká, in a successful reoccupation of a tiny part of their land. However, huge swathes are occupied by ranchers who have planted vast sugar cane plantations, leaving the Guarani with almost no land on which to survive.
The govenrment lacks the will to stop this atrocity.
