The Indians Cintas Largas set free yesterday, it the end of the afternoon, the five hostages kept in arrest since Saturday in the Indigenous Land Roosevelt, in Rondônia. The commissary of the United Nations (UN) David Martins Castro and the procurator of the Republic Reginaldo Pereira, who were among the people arrested, followed by helicopter until the city of Cacoal, in Rondônia. Other two employees of the National Foundation of the Indian (Funai) were transported by car.

Since the beginning of the afternoon, the president of Funai, Márcio Meira, negotiated the hostages/* liberation with the Cintas Largas. In change, the Indians asked for the end of the illegal exploration of diamonds in the Indigenous Land Roosevelt - one of the four populated by the ethnic group - and projects of maintainable development to supply alternatives of survival of the indigenous population.

After they have decided to maintain five people arrested in the Indigenous Reservation Roosevelt, in the east of Rondônia, Indians of the ethnic group Cinta Larga published a letter in which they affirm that the area “became a gunpowder barrel" since the discovery of a diamond bed in the place seven years ago. In the text, the Indians affirm that they do not want the mine liberation in indigenous lands and they demanded politics of maintainable development to set free the hostages.
