USA: Chairman of Native American tribe calls for investigation of dog attacks by pipeline security force against protesters
"Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Calls for Investigation of Dog Attacks on Native American Protesters", 6 Sep. 2016
On Saturday in North Dakota, security guards working for the Dakota Access pipeline company attacked Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they resisted the $3.8 billion pipeline’s construction on a tribal burial site. On Sunday, more than 500 people marched back to the construction site and held a prayer, mourning the destruction of their ancestors’ graves. Now, later today, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., will decide whether to grant a temporary restraining order to halt temporarily further construction of the Dakota Access pipeline in the area near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
