Massacres of Native Population Condemned in Indigenous Congress
Panama, Apr 30 (Prensa Latina) Condemnation of the massacre, killing and genocide of indigenous peoples in the world, is part of the final declaration of the First Congress of Indigenous Parliamentarians of America (PIA), held in this capital city.
In this regard, the document describes Honduran Berta Caceres killing as "brutal murder", while pointing out other actions as the killing of Guatemalan Julio Rene Alvarado, 13, who lived in the indigenous community Q'echie.
It also mentions the killing of Geronimo Tugri by the National Police in 2013 in the Panamanian community of Ng'ñbe-Bugle, which also left "thousands of indigenous people injured, many of them blind".
The Declaration includes the main problems of the 50 million descendants of American ancestral cultures, such as recognition and integration in national societies, discrimination, land ownership, environmental protection and condemnation to mistreatment and inequities targeting them.
