Alagoas One occupation took place in Santa Quit ria, Barra de Santo Ant nio municipality, with 50 families. Another 300-family occupation is planned. Another man was seen by witnesses after having been shot in the head. He has not been seen since, however. Other landless are reported missing.
Local groups continue to investigate their whereabouts.
The landless believe that number to be above 150, given that most of the injured did not receive any treatment and thus were not registered as such.
