new report from Amnesty International says police in northeast B.C. are not equipped to deal with the high rates of crime in the region, particularly when it comes to violence against Indigenous women and girls.
The report also calls on RCMP to increase Indigenous cultural knowledge for its officers, and renews Amnesty's demand for the Site C dam project to be stopped. Carolina de Ryk speaks to Amnesty's Craig Benjamin.
