Brazil: Second Suspect Arrested in Case of Missing Journalist & Indigenous Expert
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, police have arrested a second suspect connected to the
disappearance of British journalist Dom Phillips and the Brazilian
Indigenous expert Bruno Araújo Pereira. The pair went missing over a
week ago in one of Brazil's most remote areas of the Amazon. On Tuesday,
Indigenous activists gathered in Brazil's capital Brasília to demand
justice for the missing men.

Kamuu Dan Wapichana: "We are here to defend life, Indigenous peoples'
lives, to defend the environment and claiming for justice for our
missing friends. We want answers, and this is why we came here to the
Ministry of Justice."
