I just sent a letter to Minister Carlos Ayres Britto, Chief Justice of the Brazilian Supreme Court, in support of the rights of the indigenous people of the Xingu who are fighting for their survival in the face of the monstrous Belo Monte Dam. I asked him to uphold the landmark decision of the regional court on August 14th that overturned approval of the license to build Belo Monte.
