Bolivia Deports 'Kailasa' Representatives Over Fraudulent Land Deals
Authorities nullify 1,000-year leases signed by members of Nithyananda's self-proclaimed 'nation' with indigenous groups in the Amazon.
- Bolivian authorities arrested 20 representatives of the fictitious 'United States of Kailasa' for attempting to seize indigenous land through fraudulent agreements.
- The representatives negotiated a 1,000-year lease for land, airspace, and natural resources, altering an initial 25-year agreement with the Baure indigenous group.
- Bolivia nullified the fraudulent agreements and deported the individuals to their home countries, including India, the United States, and China.
- Kailasa, founded by fugitive Indian guru Nithyananda in 2019, has made previous attempts to gain legitimacy through international platforms and deceptive agreements.
- The recent arrests and deportations have intensified global scrutiny of Kailasa's activities, further discrediting its claims of sovereignty.
