CWN Editor's Note: In a 6-5 decision, a federal appellate court has approved the destruction of a sacred Apache site in Arizona by an Australian-owned copper mining company.
The court ruled that the land, located in a national forest but transferred to the company by Congress, is not subject to religious-freedom protections. Becket Law, a public interest law firm that has represented Catholic organizations in religious-freedom cases, represented the Apache plaintiffs in the case.
