Brazil: 2 Members of Landless Workers' Movement Killed
------------------------------------------------------

In more news from Brazil, two men belonging to the Landless Workers'
Movement, known as MST, were killed over the weekend in the northeast
state of Paraíba. The group says armed men entered an MST camp on
Saturday night and shot the two men dead over a land dispute. California
Congressmember Ro Khanna responded to the news by tweeting, "Brazil's
Bolsonaro has referred to land rights defenders as 'terrorists'. And now
over the weekend, two of their activists were assassinated. The US must
call on Bolsonaro to stop inciting violence and for Brazil to bring
those guilty of this heinous crime to justice."
