NESKONLITH, B.C. — Acting in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, supporters have blocked rail tracks on Neskonlith Band lands.

Photos posted to social media show supporters on the tracks with signs expressing solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose the Coastal GasLink project that would bring natural gas to a liquefaction facility and export terminal on the B.C. coast.

There have been nationwide protests and blockades this week after RCMP began enforcing an injunction earlier this month against the hereditary chiefs and their supports who had been obstructing an access road to the company’s work site.
