The Brazilian justice minister has condemned the killing of an indigenous leader who was shot during a land protest in the state of Matto Grosso do Sul.
More than a week ago around 1,000 members of the Guarani-Kaiowa community occupied ranches in the area.
The leader was shot when farmers tried to retake an occupied farm on Saturday.
In 2005 the Supreme Court declared that the area where the violence is taking place belonged to the Guarani.

A simple condemnation doesn't help.
