Brazilian Rancher Sentenced in Death of American Nun

HeadlineMay 16, 2007

And in Brazil, a rancher has been sentenced to 30 years in jail for ordering the assassination of the American nun Dorothy Stang. Stang had dedicated her life to defending the people of the Amazon rainforest. Her brother David praised the ruling.

David Stang: “We, the Stang family, came to Brazil, to Belem, to find justice for our sister who was brutally murdered. Today, we found justice, and we are very happy.”
