The Brazilian Bar Association for Human Rights and the Arns Commission have sued Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for “crimes against humanity” and incitement to genocide of the Amazon indigenous peoples.

The complaint was filed before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

The human rights lawyers indicated that the Brazilian president did not act promptly to stop “environmental crimes” in the Amazon when fires erupted.

Deforestation has grown by 29.5 percent due to the clearing of forests and premeditated fires in which far-right militias are accused to have participated.

Meanwhile, far right President, Bolsonaro accused the U.S. actor Leonardo Di Caprio of paying money to promote fires in the Amazon.
