Amber Bracken

The RCMP say a photojournalist who is suing the force was not exempt from complying with a court injunction while reporting on protests over the Coastal GasLink pipeline that's nearing completion in northern British Columbia.

Canadian photojournalist Amber Bracken and news organization the Narwhal have filed a lawsuit against the RCMP, claiming Bracken was wrongfully arrested and detained for three nights while reporting on a British Columbia pipeline dispute.

A photojournalist and a documentary filmmaker have been released by a B.C. Supreme Court judge, three days after being arrested while covering the RCMP's enforcement of an injunction against pipeline protests in northern British Columbia.
