Friends of the Earth International expresses its concern, indignation and condemnation at the disappearance of Brazilian indigenist activist Bruno Ara\u00fajo Pereira and Dom Phillips, a British journalist and contributor to\u00a0The Guardian\u00a0newspaper.<\/p>\n
The two men disappeared on the morning of June 5 in the indigenous territory Vale do Javari, in Brazil\u2019s Amazonas state. The defenders were last seen as they made their way from the community of Ribeirinha S\u00e3o Rafael to the town of Atalaia do Norte (where they were expected). Both men were working on a project with the Indigenous group Uni\u00f3n de Organizaciones Ind\u00edgenas de Vale do Javari (UNIVAJA).<\/p>\n
The Vale do Javari Indigenous Reserve was recognised and demarcated in 2001 and is inhabited by 26 Indigenous Peoples, among them peoples who live in voluntary isolation and others with recent initial contact.<\/p>\n
