Rieli Francisco, an expert on isolated tribes in the Amazon, was shot dead by aborigines.
According to Qadin.Net, this was reported by the BBC.
According to the report, the 56-year-old researcher and his group were shot while approaching the Uru Eu Wau-Wau reservation, where local tribes live. So far no one was able to contact the tribe. The specialist wanted to do it himself.
According to an eyewitness, after being shot, Francisco pulled out an arrow from the heart, shouted 50 meters, ran and fell. Although his colleagues took him to hospital, it was not possible to save his life.
He is said to have worked for the Brazilian National Hindu Foundation, which has been researching and protecting isolated Amazonian tribes for more than 50 years.
