Quebec Police Dismantle Innu Blockade Against Controversial Hydro Complex

By Ahni, Intercontinental Cry,  March, 11, 2012

Quebec provincial police went on the march last Friday to dismantle a blockade that a group of Innu citizens erected to protest the construction of hydro transmission lines through their traditional territory.

According to available reports, no one was arrested during the court-backed offensive, which the Innu passively tried to resist. However, a total of thirteen people were arrested, including ten women.
