Allyson Henrique de Sá Lopes, also known as Bá, 23, was shot dead on January 31, 2016. Allyson was a member of the League of Poor Peasants and lived in the settlement “Terra Nossa” whose members were occupying the Tucumã farm in Cujubim – Rondônia. In January 2016, the landless group that Allyson was a part of left the occupation because of the order for re-possession granted to the owner of the area by court. After the re-possession, five ex-occupants returned to the scene to pick up belongings that they had left in the area. According to witnesses reports, as they left the site, the five former occupiers were ambushed by an armed group. All five attempted to flee, but they were chased by the group and only three managed to escape. The next day, a charred body was found inside a car. The result of DNA tests proved that the body was of Alysson Henrique de Sá Lopes.
