The disappearance of journalist Dom Phillips in Brazil should leave you incandescent with rage | Lucy Jordan

Jair Bolsonaro's dog-whistle politics is risking the lives of Indigenous people and the reporters who tell their stories

It's now more than four days since veteran Brazil correspondent Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Araujo Pereira disappeared in the Javari Valley, a remote part of the western Amazon thought to have the world's highest concentration of uncontacted people.

Pereira, a longtime defender of Indigenous rights who previously worked for Funai, Brazil's government Indigenous rights agency, had reportedly received threats for his work monitoring illegal activities in the region.
