VICTORIA — The federal agency that holds RCMP to account has received a total of 73 public complaints associated with enforcement measures at the Fairy Creek old-growth logging blockades in British Columbia, says the legal team representing the activist group. Counsel for the Rainforest Flying Squad – the group behind the protests – received confirmation from the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission about the number of complaints received as of Monday, said lawyer Phil Dwyer. To date, 17 complaints fall under the agency’s mandate and will be investigated, Dwyer said Wednesday afternoon. …And as a result, B.C.’s NDP government is taking fire from civil rights advocates while federal counterparts are calling for a public inquiry into police actions. RCMP tactics and the use of force are increasingly aggressive, according to activists involved in the year-long civil disobedience movement.
