Crown prosecutors say Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich has breached her bail conditions by agreeing to attend a ceremony to receive a “Freedom Award” next month, and that she should be sent back to jail to await trial.
On Feb. 17, 2022, Lich was arrested and charged with counselling to commit mischief for her role in organizing the three-week Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa. The arrest came after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a state of emergency on Feb 14, giving the police additional powers to remove protesters and vehicles parked at the national capital in a demonstration against federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other restrictions.
