Occupy Belo Monte - Update on the Belo Monte Dam Protest

worrg
Belo Monte Dam construction site was occupied by 400 indigenous people, fishermen and riverine community members who oppose the project due to its severe environmental impacts and human rights violations. The occupation was a collective decision made by 700 representatives from local communities who attended a seminar against the Belo Monte Dam held this week in Altamira, and it proved an important step forward in the continuing struggle to halt the project. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43020-occupy-belo-monte-update...

    • Thank you for posting this. It is one more piece in the puzzle of globalization and colonization of the poor and indigenous people of the world.
