RIO DE JANEIRO: The United Nations on Monday condemned the"reprehensible" murder of a tribal chief in northern Brazil, even as President Jair Bolsonaro and investigators cast doubt on whether the killing was deliberate.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet condemned the"tragic and reprehensible" murder and linked the tribal chief's death to the pro-mining policies of Bolsonaro's government. "There was a death, this death will be investigated so that we can understand the circumstances under which it happened."
The Waiapi's territory is one of hundreds Brazil's government has demarcated since the 1980s for the exclusive use of its 800,000 indigenous inhabitants. Access by outsiders is strictly regulated.
