Brazil’s indigenous to sue Bolsonaro for saying they’re ‘evolving’

BRASILIA (Reuters) - The main organization representing Brazil's 300 indigenous tribes said on Friday it would sue far-right President Jair Bolsonaro for racism after he said indigenous people were "evolving" and becoming more human. "We need to put a stop to this perverse man," Sonia Guajajara, leader of the Association of Indigenous Peoples (APIB), wrote on Twitter. "APIB will go to court against Jair Bolsonaro for the crime of racism." Racism is considered a serious crime in Brazil and can carry a sentence of up to five years.
