During Covid, to be ‘vulnerable’ is to be told your life doesn’t matter (UK) | Frances Ryan | The Guardian

The truth is, disabled and older people were not “vulnerable” to the virus simply because of their health or age: they were vulnerable because the government did not bother to keep them safe. What happened to our “most vulnerable” during the pandemic was not some terrible tragedy. It was the all too predictable consequence of a system that decided the lives of disabled and older people mattered less than those of the rest.

When deaths start to mount, it becomes remarkably easy to lose sight of the value of a life. In April last year, as hospitals buckled under rising cases, the British Medical Association set out guidance – later withdrawn – to ration treatment away from Covid patients with certain disabilities. By the second wave, people with learning disabilities who had fallen sick with the virus were having “do not resuscitate” orders imposed on them. These moments were shocking, but ultimately they barely registered as a scandal. It is remarkable how easily injustice can be accepted if it is being inflicted on the right set of people.

‘War in the woods’: hundreds of anti-logging protesters arrested in Canada | Canada | The Guardian

Police in western Canada have arrested more than 270 people as a conflict over old growth logging in British Columbia’s ancient rainforests continues to grow.

At the protest blockades in the remote woodland, hundreds of activists have been chaining themselves to giant tripods made from the trunks of felled trees, suspending themselves in trees for days or more at a time, and even securing their arms inside devices called “sleeping dragons” cemented into the roadway.

The movement is an attempt to pressure the British Columbia government to halt the cutting of what activists and experts say is the last 3% of ancient trees left standing in the province.

Canada discovers 751 unmarked graves at former residential school | Canada | The Guardian

A First Nation in Canada’s Saskatchewan province is treating a now-defunct residential school as a “crime scene” following the discovery of 751 unmarked graves just weeks after a similar discovery in British Columbia prompted a fresh reckoning over the country’s colonial past.

Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess First Nation said that the graves were found on the site of the Marieval Indian residential school, also known as Grayson, after a search with ground-penetrating radar was launched on 2 June.

“This is not a mass grave site. These are unmarked graves,” said Delorme at a press conference on Thursday morning, adding that the discovery has “reopened the pain” that many suffered at the school. “The grave site is there. It is real.”

From the 19th century, more than 150,000 First Nations children were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools as part of a program to assimilate them into Canadian society.

The children were forced to convert to Christianity and not allowed to speak their native languages. Many were beaten and verbally abused, and thousands died from disease, neglect and suicide.

Un mese di violenti attacchi di minatori d’oro contro le comunità Yanomami senza protezione da parte dello Stato brasiliano! – « Se i cercatori d’oro scavano ovunque, i fiumi della foresta saranno pieni di fango, olio per motori e spazzatura. Lavano la loro polvere d’oro nei ruscelli, mescolandola al mercurio, sporco e pericoloso… »

Un conflitto è scoppiato il 27 aprile, quando un gruppo di Yanomami ha intercettato minatori illegali che risalivano il fiume Uraricoera su un motoscafo carico di carburante per i loro aerei, elicotteri e gli escavatori industriali che usano per sradicare alberi e spostare il terreno. Gli Yanomami hanno sequestrato 990 litri di carburante. In seguito, un altro gruppo di cercatori d’oro diretti a Boa Vista ha sparato sugli Yanomami nel tentativo di intimidire la comunità indigena che da anni cerca di impedire ai minatori illegali d’oro di risalire i fiumi del loro territorio.

Il 30 aprile, gli Yanomami hanno contattato le autorità governative per avvisarli di episodi di violenza nella regione di Palimiú. La regione è composta da 1.129 Yanomami in 15 villaggi.

Le forze di sicurezza dello Stato non hanno adottato alcuna misura efficace.
