Showdown i Standing Rock

av Martin Schori

Polis och demonstranter har drabbat samman i den senaste i en rad demonstrationer mot en omstridd oljeledning i delstaten North Dakota i USA. Medlemmar av folkgruppen Standing Rock Sioux och miljöaktivister menar att ledningen hotar vattenförsörjningen till ursprungsbefolkningens reservat.

Sanders also spoke at the rally. The company developing the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline says it is committed to the project, despite strong opposition and a federal order to halt construction near an American Indian reservation in North Dakota.
