We deplore that residents of Group 78 had to leave their settlement before their claims to land ownership had been adequately determined by the relevant judicial and administrative mechanisms. This eviction sends the singal to communities with similar claims that, no matter what their rights are under the law, development interests trump due process and land rights.
