Standing Rock: North Dakota Court Convenes Federal Grand Jury
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in more news from Standing Rock, the Water Protector Legal
Collective reports a North Dakota court has convened a federal grand
jury and issued at least one subpoena against a water protector at
Sacred Stone Camp. Angela Bibbens of the collective says it appears the
grand jury is focused on the injuries of Sophia Wilansky, whose left arm
was critically hurt during a November police attack in which she was
reportedly hit by a concussion grenade-an account which the police deny.
This is Angela Bibbens.

Angela Bibbens: "In response to the convening of a federal grand jury,
the Water Protector Legal Collective has put together a committee of
experienced attorneys who can represent water protectors who have been
served with a subpoena. If you are a water protector out there who has
been served, please contact our hotline at (605) 519-8180."
