for live updates

Yesterday the RCMP carried out a heavily militarized raid on the 
Gidimt'en Checkpoint, arresting 15 people including legal observers, a 
credited journalist, Haudensaunee allies, and two Wet'suwet'en elders.

The Coyote Camp on the CGL drill site off the main road was not raided 
yesterday but reports just came out of a massive RCMP convoy heading 
that way and jamming radio communication.

Solidarity actions began across Canada in response to the millitarized 
RCMP Raid with long time allies in the Gitxsan nations shutting down the 
rail lines last night, and Haudensaunee supporters stopping the hwy 6 
bypass in their territory.

Most land defenders are still in jail and scheduled for hearings this 
morning in Smithers where there will be a rally and gathering today at 9 AM.

Janet Williams, the Wet'suwet'en matriarch who was denied medication by 
the RCMP exclusion zone was taken to the hospital from jail due to chest 
pains. She is home now recovering.

Many groups including the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs

have come out condemning the RCMP for deploying massive resources that 
could be used to help people in crisis to instead repress Indigenous 
land defenders and defend a pipeline during a climate emergency.

Amnesty International has written an open letter

urging BC and Federal Government to respect rights of Wet'suwet'en Land 
Defenders

The call out for solidarity continues and actions across the country are 
planned for today. See below for details!

As the RCMP carried out their millitarized raid Sleydo' made this 
callout for support from Coyote camp on the CGL drill pad site where 
RCMP are heading now.

Wet'suwet'en Elder Janet Williams was one of the 15 arrested yesterday. 
RCMP prevented supporters from getting her medication when they set up 
an illegal exclusion zone in the lead up to the raid that stopped 
elders, chiefs, and children from accessing their territory.

She had to be taken from jail to the hospital with chest pains after 
being denied her medication by the RCMP. She is at home recovering now. 
The night before the raid she shared powerful words with the group of 
land defenders captured in the video below:

"The RCMP continues to have heavy presence in the area, despite legal 
complaints filed against previous RCMP exclusion zones on the yintah, 
and a recent BC court decision condemning the use of unlawful exclusion 
zones at Ada'itsx (Fairy Creek).

The violence towards Indigenous elders is unacceptable and must end NOW. 
Take action wherever you are.  Come to the land.
