Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of Marcos Luideson (known as Marcinhos) and his mother, Zenilda Maria de Araújo (known as Dona Zenilda), who have reportedly been threatened with death. Amnesty International also fears for the safety of approximately 1000 members of the Xucuru community who have been blocking access to a public highway since 28 January in a protest over land rights.
