Cerca de três mil indígenas do Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) – uma das maiores mobilizações de povos originários do Brasil – carregaram, em uma longa fila, aproximadamente 200 caixões negros até o Congresso Nacional. “São nossos parentes assassinados pelas políticas retrógradas de parlamentares que não respeitam a Constituição Federal”, explica a liderança Sônia Guajajara.Os caixões foram dispostos no espelho d’água e no gramado do Congresso ao lado de um banner de 25x5 metros com a mensagem “Demarcação Já!”. Poucos minutos depois, a Polícia Militar respondeu com bombas de gás, dispersando violentamente o protesto pacífico dos indígenas.Locations:Brasilia-Brazil-South AmericaDate:25 Apr, 2017Credit:© Rogério Assis / MNIMaximum size:6000px X 4000pxRestrictions:CREDIT LINE COMPULSORY: © Rogério Assis / MNIIMAGES OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN BRAZIL MUST NOT BE USED FOR FUNDRAISING PURPOSES.Keywords:Actions and protests-Brazilian Government-Coffins-Day-Death-Defending Democracy (campaign title)-Funerals-Indigenous People-KWCI (GPI)-Large group of people-OutdoorsShoot:Indigenous People Deliver 200 Coffins at Brazilian Congress in BrasiliaA huge funeral procession is carried out in front of the Brazilian Congress by 3000 indigenous people from Acampamento Terra Livre (Free Land Camp), one of the largest mobilisation groups of indigenous people in Brazil.
