The Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) is calling on government to focus on implementing the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) precautionary measures request in favour of Chinese Landing rather than expending its energy on what it says are baseless assertions.
The indigenous advocacy body was responding to a press release issued by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance (MPAG) on August 2, 2023. The APA, in its own release on August 3rd, outlined a number of areas of concern, while acknowledging that it is “cognizant of the government’s strategy to… redirect attention from its prolonged inaction on addressing the issues in Chinese Landing and instead attacking the Association”.
