the-movemnt: Thursday’s arrests at the Dakota Access Pipeline protest were far from the first since the protests began — there have been at least 411 since Aug. 10 — and the degree of force has attracted the attention of human rights groups. In one instance in early August, Aaliyah, a 14-year-old Oglala teen, and nine others were arrested for walking onto a construction site. Aaliyah was held in a juvenile detention center in Fort Yates, North Dakota, for two weeks, she said in an interview. Her charges were later dropped. Young activists are leading the charge at Standing Rock follow @the-movemnt -- source link
