The Crown has filed appeals against the sentencing and acquittals of intimidation charges for Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.

The Crown is seeking to replace Barber’s 18-month conditional sentence with a harsher penalty, and has asked the Court of Appeal to either enter a conviction on the intimidation charge or order a new trial on that count, according to a release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
