The report on the Chinese Landing mining issue has been submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and will be published shortly, following an engagement with Minister of Governance and Parliamentary Affairs Gail Teixeira, according to PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo.

He made this disclosure  at a press conference yesterday at Freedom House, Robb Street, Georgetown amid the expressed disappointment by Chinese Landing Toshao Orin Fernandes that their complaint against illegal mining remains unresolved.

“The report has been submitted to the IACHR and will be in the public [domain] shortly, I don’t want to get into the findings of the report, but when it is out you will see exactly its findings on the Chinese Landing issue,” Jagdeo told reporters.
