(St. Paul, MN) -- Authorities say about 200 activists who protested the Line Three oil pipeline in Minnesota still face prosecution.  

Indigenous protesters and their supporters fought the construction of the line last year and occupied an Enbridge pump station in Clearwater County for a time, leading to nearly 800 arrests.  

Climate Disobedience Center director Marla Marcum says about a fifth of those cases remain open.
