URGENT 🚨 Guarani Kaiowá Indigenous people have been murdered in Brazil.

In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, there’s been a rush of violence against Indigenous people, after President Lula was voted back into power. Mato Grosso do Sul as a state had more votes for the far-right opposition candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro, who claimed to be the ‘true elected president’ of Brazil.

Indigenous organizations Aty Guasu (@atyguasu) and APIB (@apiboficial) are denouncing these attacks—which include murders, hit and runs, death threats, and acts of intimidation. There have also been threats to poison the water sources of Indigenous communities.

Indigenous Terena people, also in Mato Grosso do Sul, have had similar threats.

All these reports need to be investigated and those responsible be held accountable under the law.

📣 This violence needs to stop now! We’re pressuring the Brazilian government to act.
