Just over two weeks after he told Stabroek News that the rights violations in Chinese Landing and Isseneru had been identified as an “immediate priority” for the newly formed National Toshaos Council, Chair Derrick John has now made an about-turn stating that the communities must now write the Council requesting its intervention.
“…send us a letter requesting our intervention because even though that we recognize or we know [what the situation is] officially we would like to have some form of correspondence that outlines that this is the situation officially,” John told Stabroek New during a brief interview yesterday.
Both Chinese Landing, Region One and Isseneru, Region Seven have taken the government before international commissions seeking relief for the plethora of rights violations they say they have experienced and continue to experience.
