With the government committing itself to responding to the recommendations of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) report on the violation of the rights of Isseneru villagers, the community has noticed increased activities by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) to address their concerns.

During a recent interview with Sunday Stabroek, Secretary of the Isseneru Village Council Igor Semple related that since the decision of the IACHR, they have been approached by GGMC officers in a bid to find out the issues as well as other information relating to mining operations within the community.
