Indigenous board ship near Cargill port; police respond
On Feb. 19, Indigenous protesters boarded a ship near Cargill’s grain port in Santarém, hanging banners saying “The Tapajós River isn’t merchandise” and demanding repeal of a decree privatizing three Amazon rivers. Police ordered them to leave what they called an “area of international security.”
On Thursday, February 19, Indigenous protesters raised a banner calling for revocation of the presidential decree that privatizes three Amazonian rivers, which the banner calls “a decree of death” to the rivers. The ship belongs to the Cargill complex, according to the Folha de S.Paulo. Photo: Vitiin Silva.
