“Anti-RCMP checkpoint” outside RCMP E division headquartes in Surrey
BY , Jan 17, 2020 1:46 AM - REPORT AN ERROROpponents of the Coastal GasLink pipeline construction across northwestern BC staged a protest, Thursday afternoon outside the RCMP's E-Division headquarters in Surrey.
Organizers say the event is an “anti-RCMP checkpoint”.
They say it mirrors the checkpoint set up on a forest service road in Wet'suwet'en territory outside Houston, and the Surrey checkpoint aims to enforce the “Indigenous rule of law.”
The B-C Civil Liberties Association and Union of BC Indian Chiefs both argue the police checkpoint and exclusion zone along the pipeline right-of-way in northwestern BC violate Indigenous law and Wet'suwet'en sovereignty.
