A B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced five protesters Monday who pleaded guilty to criminal contempt of court for ignoring a court order forbidding them from blocking access to a controversial northern B.C. pipeline.
Coastal GasLink says more than 500 pipeline workers are stranded after a Wet'suwet'en clan blockaded access to two work camps in a remote part of northern B.C. along a 6.6 billion dollar gas pipeline route.
