Around the world ‘development’ is robbing tribal people of their land,
self-sufficiency and pride and leaving them with nothing.

Watch this short, satirical film, which tells the story of how tribal
peoples are being destroyed in the name of ‘development’.~

To mark Human Rights Day on Wednesday, Survival International – the global
movement for tribal peoples’ rights – warns about the growing humanitarian
crisis afflicting tribal peoples around the world by highlighting five
murders of tribal people fighting for their land and their rights:

- Marinalva Manoel, Guarani spokeswoman from Brazil, was brutally stabbed
and dumped on the side of a highway
<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=2c8fa59c07&e=20b6333451>
in November 2014. She had been fighting for the return of the Guarani’s
land – most of which has been taken over by cattle ranchers.

- Four Ashéninka Indian leaders from Peru were fatally shot in September
2014

The Indians were renowned for their work against illegal logging in the
Amazon rainforest, making them a prime target.

- Jumma activist Timir Baran Chakma (also known as Duran Babu Chakma) from
the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh was killed after being tortured in
army custody in August 2014. The Jummas suffer violent repression by the
Bangladesh military

More recently there has been an alarming increase in sexual violence
against Jumma women, often resulting in their death.

- Martinus Yohame, a pro-independence tribal leader in West Papua

went missing in August 2014. His body was found floating in a sack in the
sea, tied up and covered in bullet wounds. His murder has been linked to
the Indonesian special military unit Kopassus, with which the United States
renewed military ties in 2010 following a 12-year ban due to gross human
rights violations. Since West Papua’s brutal occupation by Indonesia in
1963, an estimated 100,000 Papuans have been killed.

near the Peru border in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest in June 2014. A team of
interpreters learnt that they had been fleeing violent attacks by outsiders
who massacred their elder relatives and set their houses on fire. Uncontacted
tribes
<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=c69a05e470&e=20b6333451>
are the most vulnerable societies on the planet.

These are just a few gruesome examples of tribal people who have been
killed fighting for their lands. In virtually all cases of murder and
assassination of tribal peoples the perpetrators escape justice. Survival
is calling for an end to the impunity; better law enforcement; and
protection for tribal peoples who are being targeted and threatened in
their fight for land and rights.

Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today, “If anyone should think that
the industrialized world’s assault on tribal peoples had ended, these
tragic cases serve as a grim reminder that killings, massacres, even
genocides, are still going on. Industrialized societies subject tribal
peoples to genocidal violence, slavery and racism so they can steal their
lands, resources and labor in the name of ‘progress’ and ‘civilization’.
It’s one of the most urgent and horrific humanitarian crises of our time.”
