That is why today is so important to us. This is the reason we seek justice and punishment of those who are most responsible.- We hope for truth, for justice and to contribute to the guarantee of non-repetition of these crimes, above all against the territorial leaders who continue to defend the common goods of the nature, the rights of indigenous community.
