FREE THE TS'PETEN DEFENDERS!!!
In the summer of 1995, in British Columbia, the RCMP laid seige to a small
group of native sovereigntists in the biggest RCMP para-military operation in
Canadian history, which has become known has the "Gustafsen Lake Crisis". It
ended in a year-long criminal trial and the conviction of 15 people, 13 of
whom received prison terms. The Elder, Wolverine received the longest
sentence of eight years. In the video ABOVE THE LAW we will see the military
build-up of the RCMP, their use of land mines, their attempted
assassinations, and interviews with defense lawyer Bruce Clark, political
prisoner Wolverine, and spokespersons for the Free Wolverine Campaign. This
film shows the determination of the Canadian government to undermine and
eliminate any movement of native people that fights uncompromisingly for
their self-determination and sovereignty.
Organised by the Montreal Anarchist Black Cross and the First Nations Solidarity working group (Concordia QPIRG)
