The charity organizing Tamara Lich’s criminal defence has won the first round, albeit a procedural one, in the ongoing charges Mrs. Lich faces for her participation in the Freedom Convoy protests in 2022.

The lawyer representing Mrs. Lich on various mischief-related charges was in the Ontario Court of Justice to obtain evidence and a witness list the Crown prosecutors intend to present at her three-week trial, scheduled to begin on Ottawa on Sept. 5. The trial was originally scheduled to run for four weeks, but that was dependent on the number of witnesses.
