		In 1998, a Xucuru leader, Chicão (Francisco Lacerda), was assassinated, apparently because of his opposition to the encroachment of ranchers in Xucuru territory.

		En toile de fond de ces homicides, on trouve une longue histoire d’actes de violence et d’intimidation des Xucuru par les propriétaires fonciers locaux.
		Amnistie internationale demande qu’une enquête approfondie soit menée dans toutes les affaires de violence contre les Xucuru — visant non seulement à démasquer les tueurs, mais aussi ceux qui les emploient — de façon à mettre un terme à la politique d’intimidation contre les populations indigènes qui luttent pour retrouver leurs terres ancestrales.
