A landlord ordering the murder of American nun Dorothy Stang in the
Amazon region were reported in 2005, accused, back in prison after he
was in.
Vitalmiro Bastos Moura was convicted of murder in 2007. The verdict was
later overturned one years, but now stands a new trial.
Murder in the State of Par, has provoked outrage in Brazil and abroad.
Dorothy Stang, 73, sat down to get the forest and protect the rights of
agricultural workers.
She had lived in Brazil for 30 years, when he was shot, on the road
while walking on a muddy jungle.
Hundreds have died in land conflicts in the same part of Brazil in
recent decades, with few choices, reports the BBC, Gary Duffy in Sao
Paulo.
But there was widespread anger over the murder of 73-year-old American
missionary, he said.
If Vitalmiro Bastos Moura was convicted in 2007 of ordering the murder
of a judge, he had a violent personality, living him to be unfit in the
society.
However, his conviction was later overturned one years and had lived in
freedom disputes about the case.
A judge has now agreed that the landlord must return to jail until we
found a new study – scheduled for later this year – and is said to have
told the police.
Even today there are missionaries, the campaigns are doing for the poor
in the Amazon region, the death threats and police protection of their
work face, says our correspondent.
