"Brazilian lawyers and an influential human rights group including six
former government ministers are seeking to indict the far-right
president Jair Bolsonaro at the International Criminal Court for
encouraging genocide against Brazil’s indigenous people."

[…]

"Since taking power in January, Bolsonaro has repeatedly denigrated
Brazil’s indigenous people – comparing them to animals in zoos and
“prehistoric men” – and overseen efforts to to dismantle Funai, the
already underfunded agency supposed to protect Brazil’s more than 300
tribes. He has also pushed to open up indigenous reserves to mining
companies."
