Brazil: Land Dispute Between Slave Descendants and the Navy · Global Voices
Sara Moreira

An online petition [pt] demands the suspension of the order of eviction of Quilombo Rio dos Macacos, one of the oldest slave descendent communities in Brazil. A Technical Identification and Delimitation Report from the National Institute of Colonisation and Agrarian Reform (Incra) determined that the territory belongs to the quilombola community, but in early August, 2012, a judge ordered the eviction, favouring the Navy's claim for the land.
