Indigenous community eviction in Jujuy, Argentina

Overview

The Santa Rosa indigenous community in Humahuaca, Jujuy, reported violent repression during a court-ordered eviction. Community leaders, including Chocoya president Enrique Farfán, claimed the judicial measure failed to respect collective rights and stemmed from inaccuracies in cadastral plans provided by the Directorate of Real Estate.

Following the initial reports, police forces conducted a violent operation involving the removal of women, children, and elderly residents. Reports indicate that heavy machinery was used to destroy property during freezing temperatures. Community members accused security forces of using rubber bullets against protesters and taking several minors into custody, whose whereabouts are unknown. While some residents were removed, a group of women has maintained a peaceful resistance at the site to protest the loss of ancestral lands.
