Brazil indigenous Guarani leader Nisio Gomes killed

Nisio Gomes, 59, was part of a Guarani Kaiowa group that returned to their ancestral land at the start of this month after being evicted by ranchers.

He was killed by a group of around 40 masked gunmen who burst into the camp.

Brazil's Human Rights Secretary condemned the murder as "part of systematic violence against indigenous people in the region".

In a statement, Human Rights Minister Maria do Rosario Nunes said the region in Mato Grosso do Sul state was "one of the worst scenes of conflict between indigenous people and ranchers in the country".

the greater the greed, the heavier the penalty. Oh, wait, that's what China does. Here, we give the greedy police to beat us.

I know I should use the :sarcasm: thingy, but I'm not so sure I don't mean it. I'm sure there are a million reasons why I am wrong, but I despair.

4. And the Brazilian army was AWOL?

Along with the police?

Or are they protecting the rancher class?

I know Brazil's trying, but this assassination is a real blow to Progress -- and Justice.
