Lawyers for the RCMP and logging company Teal-Jones were at the hearing, arguing the media restriction during Fairy Creek arrests was fair. Photo by Will O Connell Listen to article After a two-day hearing outlining the ways RCMP have restricted media access at Vancouver Island’s Fairy Creek blockades, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled in favour of journalists. The case was brought forward by a coalition of journalism organizations, including Canada’s National Observer. The coalition’s lawyer on the case, Sean Hern, successfully argued for a clause to be inserted in April’s B.C. Supreme Court injunction barring the RCMP from interfering with media access at Fairy Creek. The area, around Port Renfrew, B.C., has been sprinkled with blockades set up to oppose old-growth logging since August 2020, in the traditional territory of the Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations.
