After two days of court hearings, everyone arrested at the Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline construction site in northwest B.C. have been released.

Last week, the RCMP arrested 29 people from the site near Houston, while enforcing an injunction order for CGL and clearing blockades set up by a Wet含羞草研究社檚uwet含羞草研究社檈n group and their supporters. Among those arrested were Gidimt含羞草研究社檈n Checkpoint含羞草研究社檚 key leader Sleydo含羞草研究社� (Molly Wickham ) and two journalists.

Some arrested, including the journalists, were released on Nov. 22, with conditions to comply with the injunction. All are expected to reappear in court on Feb. 14.

While non-Wet含羞草研究社檚utwet含羞草研究社檈n members were told to stay out of the injunction zones, those who are Wet含羞草研究社檚uwet含羞草研究社檈n can return to hunt, fish, trap and conduct cultural practices. The journalists can return for their work, but were told to be mindful of the injunction and keep the peace.

Sleydo含羞草研究社�, who was among the last to be released (on Nov. 23, with similar conditions), was told not to be within 75 metres of any CGL worksites, as opposed to 10 metres for all others arrested).

Even though CGL含羞草研究社檚 lawyer pleaded to bar Sleydo from returning to the area given past instances where she breached injunction orders, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Marguerite Church said the 含羞草研究社渂lanket exclusion含羞草研究社� would prevent her from exercising her constitutionally protected Indigenous rights in those areas.

Church also warned Sleydo含羞草研究社� that violating the conditions of her release would lead to stricter orders in the future.

Upon release, Sleydo含羞草研究社� said in a Facebook video statement, 含羞草研究社淭his injunction has no jurisdiction on our territories, [it is] an inadequate piece of law that has been been used to violate human rights, to violate Indigenous rights, to violate Wet含羞草研究社檚uwet含羞草研究社檈n law. It含羞草研究社檚 not something that should be used when there含羞草研究社檚 issues of Indigenous land and Indigenous law in dispute with the so-called Canada and the Crown.含羞草研究社�

She also said she was removed from her territory 含羞草研究社渋llegally含羞草研究社� and called everything that happened since their arrest on Nov. 19 a violation of human rights.
