The Committee to Protect Journalists joined other 49 civil society organizations and journalists in a manifesto organized by the Javari Valley Indigenous People Union (UNIVAJA) to remember the third anniversary of British journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira killings on June 5, 2022, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
Issued on World Environment Day, UNIVAJA’s open letter calls for “more than promises” as Brazil prepares to host the COP30 climate change conference in Belém, the capital of the state of Pará, in November. “We demand protection for the guardians of the forest. We demand real, urgent and transformative action.”
Phillips and Pereira went missing during a reporting trip in the Indigenous territory of the Javari Valley, and their remains were found 10 days later, with gunshot wounds.
Read the full manifesto in Portuguese.
