This is a story that made headlines across the country last week.

An international human rights organization released a report on the RCMP with allegations of abuse by their officers on Aboriginal women and girls, including a woman saying she was gang-raped on a number of occasions. She said police threatened to kill her if she said anything.

Now, Human Rights Watch says the RCMP is dismissing their research that involved hours of field and interviewing dozens of people.

This comes after the organization travelled to Vancouver to meet with province’s top RCMP brass.

APTN National News reporter Rob Smith has the story.
