According to a decision signed by federal Judge Shamyl Cipriano, a Brazilian court restored late on Wednesday an order allowing?access?to the Santarem River port terminal operated by U.S. grain traders Cargill. The Brazilian court reinstated late on?Wednesday an order?to free up?access?to the Santarem river port terminal where U.S. grain trader Cargill operates, according to a ruling signed by federal judge Shamyl Cipriano and seen by.

A federal court issued an order last Friday requiring the government to take measures within 48 hours to remove protesters and restore access to Cargill’s facility in Para.

Federal prosecutors said they appealed this decision. They argued that the ruling did not follow the norms of National Council of Justice which require the direct participation of Indigenous Peoples and the holding of mediation hearings prior to any removal.

Prosecutors said that this led to the decision being overturned Sunday. The reinstatement on Wednesday was a victory for Cargill.

The prosecutors are analyzing the latest court decision.

Amport, the group that represents terminal operators at port terminals in the Amazon basin welcomed the latest ruling because it "recognizes the importance of 'port infrastructure, and the harm caused by a prolonged closure."

Local media reported that indigenous people "intercepted", barges as part of a?operation by Cargill, in the Santarem region while they crossed the Tapajos River.
