Sleydo' Shaylynn Sampson, and Corey “Jayohcee” Jocko scheduled for continuation hearing next week
As Chief Dsta'hyl completed his 60-day conditional sentence for criminal contempt Aug. 26, he vowed to fight on for the rights he believes were violated with his arrest in November 2021.
Dsta'hyl, who also goes by Adam Gagnon, was the first person Amnesty ever declared as a prisoner of conscience in Canada"on the basis that his arrest and conviction violated his constitutional and Indigenous rights." Three of those others, Sleydo' , Shaylynn Sampson, and Corey “Jayohcee” Jocko are scheduled to be in court in Smithers next week. In January, they were convicted of criminal contempt for violating the injunction, but sentencing was postponed for the court to hear an abuse-of-process application from the defence.
