With great sadness, the Movement of Artisanal Fishermen and Fisherwomen of Brazil (MPP) announces the death of our dear companion in struggle and journey, Budi Laksana, which occurred on the morning of this Thursday, November 28th.
Budi, 45 years old, was Secretary-General of the Indonesian Fishermen’s Union (SNI), a member organization of the World Forum of Fishing Peoples (WFFP). He was in Brasília participating in the 8th General Assembly of the World Forum of Fishing Peoples, held between November 13th and 22nd. He represented the fishing peoples of Indonesia with dedication and courage, fighting for the preservation of traditional crab fishing in their territory. His cooperation, commitment and remarkable presence are an inspiration to us all!
May his memory live on in our struggles and may his legacy inspire us to move forward with even greater determination.
Budi, present!
