Amnesty Urges Halt to Pipeline on Wet'suwet'en Land

Original: Stop Pipeline Infrastructure On Wet’suwet’en Land

Amnesty International is calling for a stop to pipeline infrastructure on Wet'suwet'en territory in British Columbia, Canada. The human rights organisation is urging that the project be halted, backing the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and land defenders who have long opposed pipeline construction on their unceded lands, citing Indigenous rights and the duty to obtain free, prior and informed consent.

Why now: Renewed attention to Indigenous land rights and pipeline construction on Wet'suwet'en territory has prompted human rights groups to speak out.
