Narwhal lawsuit against RCMP over arrest of journalist, in court Jan 12

In 2021, Amber Bracken, a freelance photojournalist on assignment for the Narwhal, was arrested by the RCMP on Wet’suwet’en territory and held in jail for 3 days. The charges against her were later dropped. The Narwhal and Amber Bracken are suing the RCMP in a case about press freedom. That trial begins in Vancouver on Jan 12. We speak with Carol Linnitt, editor-in-chief of the Narwhal.
