Protests over Brazil mining bill

SAO PAULO - Indigenous groups in Brazil have demonstrated against a bill that would legalise mining on their lands.

Lobbyists have been campaigning for the revival of Bill 191 since it was dismissed by Brazil’s Congress last June.

However, protesters assembled in Sao Paulo with banners reading: “Invaders get out! Miners gets out, Agrobusiness get out! Bolsonaro get out!” The demonstrators say that Bill 191 “will only bring more destruction to our people and our forest”.
