Amnesty International criticises government for raid on group that disputed expedition by Natural History Museum. Human rights group Amnesty International has strongly admonished the Paraguayan government for raiding the offices of a local NGO that had questioned the impact on indigenous people of a British Natural History Museum expedition to Paraguay's remote Chaco forest. Amnesty International said in a statement that it believed the Paraguyan government had unacceptably "retaliated" against the small group, Iniciativa Amotocodie (Amotocodie Initiative, AI), which was concerned about the the wildlife expedition's impact on an uncontacted tribe.
