Amazon attack: Gamela tribe shot, stabbed and mutilated
2 May 2017
Human rights groups in Brazil have called on the government to increase protection for indigenous people after a tribe was attacked.
Members of the Gamela tribe suffered gunshot wounds, stabbings and amputations in a land rights dispute in the Amazon state of Maranhao.
Reports say the attackers were farmers and landowners.
There has been a rise in such assaults across Brazil, with the perpetrators rarely caught.
