Dear Gretchen,
Please see attached public
statement regarding the assassination of
Dilma Ferreira Silva, a regional
coordinator of MAB in the region of
Tucurui, Pará. As we
discussed, we appreciate the Coalition's support
in circulating this
statement to appropriate lists, requesting that
organizations confirm
sign-ons by 6 pm Brasilia time this Wednesday,
4/3. Confirmations
should be sent to Marcella Ribeiro
<
mrib...@aida-americas.org>, legal advisor with AIDA's
human rights and
environment program. The signed letter will be
delivered to high-level
representatives of the Brazilian government,
Congress and Judiciary, as
well as to multilateral human rights
organizations (e.g. UNHRC, IACHR).
We hope that co-signing
organizations will help disseminate the
statement through their social media
channels and press contacts.
Thanks for your help!
Best,
Brent
P.S. We'll be sending along ASAP the Spanish and Portuguese
versions of
the statement.
