Jodi Greenleaves hasn't added a story.
Beatrice Hunter is a Labrador Inuit woman who has been remanded into
custody at the maximum security prison, HMP in St. John's, NL for
refusing to agree to a judge's condition to stay away from the site of
the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador, which is being
built by Nalcor Energy.
Ms. Hunter is facing civil and criminal charges for taking part
in the occupation of the Muskrat Falls workers camp site back in Oct
of 2016.
Legal representation has now been retained and Beatrice needs
financial support so that she can continue to fight, and would very
much appreciate your support.
Thanks to everyone for supporting this cause.

To learn more of Beatrice's story, and the fight her and many
others in Labrador are facing, you can read more from The
Independent's website.

"Hunter’s imprisonment lays bare the reality of what is unfolding in Labrador. The prosecution of land protectors is not about justice. It is about colonialism, about rich white settlers profiting off of Indigenous land.
Opposition to Muskrat Falls has become more than simply a political
opinion. Thanks to the aggressive over-reach of Nalcor and the justice
system, opposition to Muskrat Falls has become a civil rights
movement, a clear and defining moment in the maturing of this
province. Beatrice Hunter is a political prisoner — a prisoner of conscience."
--Hans Rollman, The Independent
