Amnesty International USA to Observe North Dakota Pipeline Protests

As a federal court issues a decision regarding whether construction of a disputed pipeline can go forward, Amnesty International USA has sent a delegation of human rights observers to monitor the response of law enforcement to protests by Indigenous communities in North Dakota.

Thousands of people have gathered in recent weeks at the construction site of the Dakota Access Pipeline at the border of North and South Dakota, close to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. State law enforcement has removed state-owned water tanks that have served as the main supply of drinking water for the encampment, citing public safety concerns. 29 people have been arrested in the past two weeks.

AIUSA sent a letter today to the North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Morton County Sheriff Department notifying them of the delegation and outlining how authorities are required to act in accordance with international human rights standards and the U.S. Constitution during the policing of protests.

“It is the legitimate right of people to peacefully express their opinion,” the letter reads. “Public assemblies should not be considered as the ‘enemy.’ The command hierarchy must convey a clear message to law enforcement officials that their task is to facilitate and not to restrict a peaceful public assembly.“

OK! So, I've begun PHYSICAL THERAPY. I've been given seven specific exercises for my back, neck, & skull, and the Physical Therapists & Chiropractor are working on me every week for at least the next four weeks. I've been dealing with and pushing thru the pain and symptoms for quite a while, (it started in January of 2014), and I guess everything finally came to a head--LITERALLY. I was told that they are re-modeling the tissues in the back of my head & and that the muscles back there are too tight. I understand that this is a process, and the exercises hurt, but I gotta do it, affirming, I BLESS & RELEASE ALL OF MY PAIN! ‪https://goo.gl/Rc4KGU #YES
