Maria's hand with missing finger

Maria, her 12-year-old son and her husband, were attacked by thugs with machetes while trying to stop the building of a dam on indigenous land.

She was cut three times on the head with a machete and lost a finger. Her son had his ear and a large part of his face cut off, her husband was left for dead but survived, though his is no longer able to work.
