A Capitol News cameraman and a resident of Chenapau Village, Region Eight were yesterday afternoon arrested by members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) while attempting to verify the boundary of the Kaieteur National Park (KNP).
Cameraman, Rudy Morris was part of a four-member media team accompanying Amerindian Peoples’ Association representative Michael McGarrell who had travelled to KNP on Saturday morning. The trip was made in hopes of being able to verify the boundaries of the KNP in wake of claims made by Chenapau residents that several of their villagers were accused of mining in the KNP-a designated protected area.
