Residents believe that 2 kids and an old man have been suffocated to death in the military assault. Dozens have been injured, some lost their eyes.
Residents believe that two children and an old man have been killed – it is not known who are their names, or if they were killed due to the teargas or the smoke from the building set on fire during the forced eviction. 27 people had been arrested when they defended against the police attack.
Two kids, 13 and 16 of age, were killed when special troops of Military Police in Brazil (BOPE), ahead of the Army, invaded the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro on tanks and helicopters, at 5:30, on March 30th.
37 kids were arrested en mass and held at gun point, when they protested the killing of their friends, throwing rocks at tanks and the armed police. It’s a newescalation of military violenceagainst civilian population in Brazil.

en Castellano y Portugues abajo
A Spanish biologist was shot dead in the state of Rio de Janeiro and police believe it was a revenge for his allegations of environmental crimes in the protected area of the unique threatened ‘Mata Atlantica’ ecosystem, where he lived, said Wednesday the newspaper O Globo.
The body of Gonzalo Alonso Hernandez, 49, was found Sunday floating near a waterfall in the park Cunhambebe, located near the town of Rio Claro.
“The biologist defending endangered species and fighting predatory hunting in the park (…) That bothered some people,” said Marco Antonio Alves, Civil Police.
The professional, who lived for 10 years in the area, also fighting the illegal extraction of aq native palm.
Police, who did not rule out other hypotheses in the crime, such as robbery, said the biologist’s computer was stolen, perhaps to erase any links with the murderers.
Police have confirmed that the killed Biologist home computer just disappeared, probably to remove the traces of their claims in the environmental field. Their murderers also cut the phone line and light in their home.

His widow said it seemed symbolic that Gonzalo was executed at his home and his body was thrown into a waterfall in the park whose protection he had been advocating for eight years. As reported by this newspaper, she has no doubt that the crime has been committed by those who were touched by their complaints.
Police were awaiting experts of the Legal Medical Institute of Angra de los Reyes, the region where is located the famous town of Paraty and where the study will be done on the corpse. Only then can they confirm whether this is an “environmental crime” or a simple robbery, which the police themselves say is unikely, given the background of the victim.

Ambientalista espanhol pode ter sido torturado antes de ser morto no RJ
Ambientalista “incomodava” muita gente no Parque Cunhambebe, diz delegado
O ambientalista espanhol Gonzalo Alonso Hernández, de 48 anos, encontrado morto no Parque Estadual Cunhambebe (RJ), pode ter sido torturado antes de ser assassinado, segundo as primeiras informações divulgadas pela delegacia do município de Rio Claro, que investiga o caso. De acordo com o delegado Marco Antônio Alves, a morte do espanhol pode ter sido uma retaliação pelas frequentes denúncias que ele fazia contra extratores de palmito e caçadores e criadores de gado, que agiam dentro da área de proteção ambiental. “Isso estava incomodando muitas pessoas”, declarou Alves. O corpo do biólogo foi encontrado por um vizinho, na manhã de terça-feira (6/8), com marcas de tiros na cabeça, boiando próximo a uma cachoeira do parque. Hernández era casado com Maria de Lurdes Pena Campos, e morava na região há mais de 10 anos.
A ONG ambiental WWF, por meio de nota, repudiou a morte do biólogo, e alertou que “ameaças, violência e assassinatos de ambientalistas (…) tornaram-se recorrentes e crescentes em todo o Brasil”. No último domingo, os catarinenses Wigold Schaffer e Miriam Prochnow foram agredidos e feitos reféns por um caçador, dentro da propriedade que possuem em Atalanta (SC). O homem teria ameaçado matar a ambos e efetuado um disparo contra Wigold, sem contudo acertá-lo. A morte do biológo espanhol ganhou repercussão internacional por meio do jornal El País, da Espanha, que definiu Hernández como um “destacado ativista ambiental (…), assassinado em casa, e jogado em uma cachoeira do parque que defendia”.

Biólogo español asesinado en Brasil tras denunciar crímenes ambientales D
Un biólogo español fue asesinado a tiros en el estado de Río de Janeiro y la policía cree que se trató de una venganza por sus denuncias de crímenes ambientales en la zona protegida donde vivía, informó el miércoles el diario O Globo.
El cadáver de Gonzalo Alonso Hernández, de 49 años, fue hallado el domingo flotando cerca de una cascada en el parque Cunhambebe, ubicado en la población de Río Claro.
“El biólogo defendía las especies en extinción y combatía la caza depredadora en el parque (…) Esa lucha molestaba a algunas personas”, explicó Marco Antonio Alves, de la Policía Civil.
El profesional, que vivía hace 10 años en la zona, también combatía la extracción ilegal de palmito.
La policía, que no descarta otras hipótesis en el crimen, como un robo, indicó que el computador del biólogo fue robado, quizás para borrar cualquier vínculo con los asesinos.
La policía ha confirmado que de la casa del biólogo asesinado solo despareció el ordenador, probablemente para eliminar las huellas de sus denuncias en el campo ambiental. Sus asesinos cortaron también la línea telefónica y la luz de su casa.
A la viuda le ha parecido simbólico que Gonzalo fuese ejecutado en su casa y que su cuerpo fuese arrojado a una cascada de agua del parque cuya protección llevaba defendiendo desde hacía ocho años. Según ha informado a este diario, ella no tiene la menor duda de que el crimen ha sido cometido por los que se sintieron tocados por sus denuncias.

La policía espera, no obstante, los informes periciales del Instituto Médico Legal de Angra de los Reyes, región donde está ubicada la famosa ciudad de Paraty y donde ha sido realizado el estudio necrológico del cadáver. Solo entonces podrán confirmar si se trata de un “crimen ambiental” o de un simple robo a mano armada, que según la misma policía parece la hipótesis menos probable, dados los antecedentes de la victima.

I have seen her in many dvds & other bits of real media. We have to take a leaf from her wisdom, or the UN (World Government in waiting) will simply sweep all aside with such measures as Depopulation, War, Resource Grabbing, Land Grabbing, False Famines & ultimately death for billions of us….Make no mistake this IS happening already & we the people have to pull the whole damn sick game the elites have planned for
