User Rating: / 0

By Christine Graef
Akwesasne Mohawk Territory (NFIC) 6-09

On the 26th day of the border closing through Akwesasne, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne told its lawyers to file for a judicial review of Canada’s decision to close the bridge and to arm border guards on the territory.

MCA asks that the court review the decision of Minister of Public Safety Peter Van Loan and the President of the Canada Border Services Agency Stephen Rigby to abruptly close the Cornwall Port at midnight June 1, after border officers left their posts as Mohawk continued a peaceful protest against arming the port on their territory.
