Last February, Sister Dorothy Stang was assassinated in the Amazon. She was an advocate of land rights for rural peasants and spoke out repeatedly against the ecological cost and social injustices involved in Amazonian deforestation. Today the two men accused of killing her are on trial.

Guilty as charged!

The two gunmen were found guilty. Rayfran - the one who actually pulled the trigger - was sentenced to 27 years in jail. Clodoaldo - his accomplice - was sentenced to 17 years. This is wonderful news for the friends and family of Sister Dorothy.
