Justice Served for Amazon Defender | Hattiesburg News

A Peruvian court delivers historic justice as four men sentenced to 15–35 years for the murder of Indigenous leader Quinto Inuma Alvarado, killed in November 2023 while returning from a land defenders’ meeting. The timber operator allegedly behind the hit gets 28 years — Peru’s first such severe sentence for killing an environmental defender. While advocates hail it as a landmark step against impunity, Inuma’s son says safety remains elusive, echoing his father’s warnings ignored by authorities. This verdict, nearly three years after the killing, offers hope but underscores the ongoing peril faced by Amazon defenders — tragically underscored by another leader’s death just days before.
