THE environmental activist killed by authorities in an Atlanta-area forest last month was shot at least a dozen times, the slain protester’s family said on Monday.
The family of the activist, who went by the name of Tortuguita, are demanding more information from authorities about the killing.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has said that officers killed Tortuguita in self-defence on January 18 after the protester, whose given name was Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, allegedly shot a state trooper while authorities cleared activists from a forested site.
