Energy Transfer sues Greenpeace over DAPL protests

Energy Transfer has filed a $300 million lawsuit against Greenpeace, accusing the environmental organization of inciting violence and defamation during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. The case, which revolves around the company’s claims of criminal activity linked to the protests, has raised concerns about free speech rights and activism. Greenpeace defends its actions as peaceful and lawful, calling the suit a strategy to silence dissent. This case follows years of protests led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
