An image of an indigenous man in a soldier's headlock has been circulating online for years. And once again the picture should be current, it should show the evacuation of the Kayapó tribe.
You can currently find the picture again on Facebook :

“This picture should go around the world.
The evacuation of the Kayapó tribe – an Indian tribe from the Amazon region in Mato Grosso, Brazil – has begun.The construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam has been approved, despite numerous protests and over 600,000 signatures collected.”
The article also refers to another picture that is supposed to show the tribal chief after the announcement of the decision:

Fact check 1: The pictures

The first picture is from 2008 , the photographer was Luiz Vasconcelos .
In March 2008, around 100 people from various indigenous peoples occupied a property on the highway between Manaus and Itacoatiara in the Amazon region of Brazil. They are protesting against the government taking away their land.
On March 11, 2008, police forcibly evacuated the area after indigenous people attacked them with sticks, stones and arrows.

The second picture is from 2011 . We reported on this picture back in 2014 It has no connection with the construction of the dam, but with a family reunion in Washington.
Fact check 2: The dam
There have been major protests against the Belo Monte dam for years , since construction began in 2011. However, the dam has been in operation since 2016 So there is precious little point in demonstrating against the building now.
After the government realized that the costs of the dams were much higher than expected, it was decided at the beginning of 2018 to build any more dams in this area.
Conclusion
The supposedly current pictures are from 2008 and 2011.
The first picture does not show any arrests from the area of the future dam, but rather the evacuation of an occupied property.
The second image shows a chief crying due to a family reunion, with no connection to the dam.
Protests and petitions against the Belo Monte dam are useless as it has been in operation since 2016.
No further dams will be built due to the costs and the protests.
