The Canadian mining company Belo Sun has sent an extrajudicial notification to the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (Apib). The notification came shortly after the release of a report on Belo Sun by the organisation's legal team, which denounces the alleged risks posed by the mining project in the Volta Grande do Xingu, and the international advocacy action at the UN in Geneva carried out by the Alliance for the Volta Grande do Xingu, a coalition of which Apib is a member, denouncing the corporate abuses of Canadian companies in the Brazilian Amazon and 8 other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
