Superior Court of Justice Suspends Eviction Orders in Pará Land Dispute
What happened
The Superior Court of Justice in Pará suspended all eviction orders concerning the traditional village of Tukano Sawa on November 11, 2025, after a legal battle in April 2026. The court's decision followed an intervention by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, which allowed the Turiwara families to maintain their village on the Acará River banks. The plantation in the region is operated by Agropalma, which was recently acquired by the Daabon Group.
