Ruling Backs Coastal GasLink

摘要

A British Columbia Supreme Court justice has confirmed an injunction that has been in place for a year prohibiting Wet'suwe'ten Nation members from blocking access to the Coast GasLink's gas pipeline project.Justice Marguerite Church's order stops protesters from barring workers from getting through their checkpoints along a remote logging road near Houston,BC.Wet'suwet'en Nation members argued the checkpoints are legal under tribal law because the company doesn't have permission from the hereditary chiefs to begin construction.The judge rejected that argument(NGW Jan.14'19).
