Protesters arrested in B.C. gas pipeline blockade
Six protesters of a natural gas pipeline in northern B.C. were arrested in the early morning hours of Thursday, according to an Indigenous group.
The RCMP is enforcing a B.C. Supreme Court order requiring that Coastal GasLink workers be given access to the area near Houston, B.C. However, Jennifer Wickham, who is also a Gidimt’en spokesperson, said the RCMP smashed the window of a truck to arrest a man. She said she hadn’t heard of any injuries, but was disturbed by how many officers came to arrest people while they were sleeping in their camps.
Wickham alleges RCMP dragged the demonstrators out of their tents, before RCMP officers dismantled the tents.
