Bolsonaro destroys the Amazon

Have just heard that Bolsonaro has taken Yanomani prisoners in the Amazon forests. The loggers came across a lady her daughter aged three, raped both and flung them both into the river. Bolsonaro was claiming that the tribes of the area would be respected and protected.
