Twenty people including Kayapo Chief Megaron Txucarramae, one of Brazil's most important indigenous leaders in the struggle against the Belo Monte dam in the Amazon, held up banners in English and Turkish reading 'Rivers Unite, Dams Divide: Stop Ilisu and Belo Monte dams'. Delegates from the International Rivers Conference held in Istanbul last Saturday joined local protestors to show solidarity with their struggle to stop the Ilisu dam on the Tigris River, Turkey's last free-flowing river.
