Sentencing of Land Defenders in Canada
The sentencing of three land defenders in Canada has sent a concerning message regarding the threats to Indigenous rights and environmental justice.
A British Columbia judge handed down sentences to three Indigenous land defenders who were arrested in November 2021 during a raid by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on the ancestral territory of the Wet’suwet’en Nation.
The sentencing of three land defenders criminalized by Canada sends a chilling message about the threats facing people and Nations on the front lines of the struggle for Indigenous rights and environmental justice.
Amnesty International remains 100% independent, never accepting funding from governments or political organizations, allowing for objective and impartial campaigning.
