Two of the main “Freedom Convoy” organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are expected to go on trial in September 2023 on charges related to the mass protest that rocked downtown Ottawa earlier this year. Thousands of protesters filled the streets of Ottawa in late January and stayed for three weeks to protest the COVID-19 restrictions and the Liberal government. Big rigs and other vehicles blocked the streets around the parliament hall, filling the air with gas fumes and honking horns at all hours as the city descended into a state of “lawlessness” that many officials have described. Lich and Barber were both arrested a day before hundreds of plainclothes officers were deployed to clear protesters from the streets around Parliament Hill in February. The pair have been co-charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing police and advising others to commit disorder and intimidation. The trial is expected to begin on September 5, 2023 and last approximately 16 days. Lich and Barber were released on bail with strict instructions not to contact each other or other convoy organizers except under the supervision of their lawyers. Lich was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant in June after she was accused of violating her parole conditions by appearing at an awards ceremony with fellow entourage organizer Tom Marazzo. She was released again in July, but is still charged with failing to comply with her conditions. Pat King, another key figure in the escort movement, is also expected to stand trial on a number of charges related to his participation in the protest. No date has been set yet. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on August 30, 2022.
