WINDOW ROCK, Navajo Nation -- Navajo Police were sent today to evict Marley Shebala, Dine' Zuni Pueblo reporter, from her home. Marley, 73, screamed in pain as she was arrested by police. Marley had filed an ethics complaint against Navajo President Buu Nygren, and was reporting on the ongoing corruption in the Navajo tribal government.
"I am 73 years old, and they have me handcuffed in my home with my daughter, our Navajo police, to serve and protect" Marley says, as she continues to livestream. Navajo police used a locksmith to enter her home, before the violent arrest.
"I am not standing up, I'm not doing anything for you guys, if you want me to go you can drag me," she said, and then screamed in pain, "My arm! my arm!" Marley continued to scream from the pain during the violent arrest by Navajo police.
