As more miners continue to move into the Region One indigenous community of Chinese Landing, Toshao Orin Fernandes is reporting increased threats made on his life, while accusing the police of failing to act on them.
Fernandes said that the threats from both miners and the police are not new but they have been intensifying since the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (UN CERD) flagged the government for not addressing them.
Chinese Landing, a Carib indigenous community, complained to CERD about a number of violations under the Amerindian Act of 2006.
