OTTAWA — “Freedom Convoy” organizer Tamara Lich is accused of breaching her bail conditions and the Crown argues she should go back to back in jail until her trial.
Lich was initially denied bail after her arrest during the massive protest that overtook downtown Ottawa for three weeks in February, but was released in March after that decision was reviewed.
She and fellow protest organizer Chris Barber are jointly accused of mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and obstructing police, and intimidation.
The Crown says Lich has violated one of her bail conditions by agreeing to accept a “freedom award” from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a charity that supported the protest.
