Trial for ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizers not about their political beliefs, Crown says

OTTAWA – “Freedom Convoy” organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are not on trial for their political beliefs, a Crown prosecutor told an Ottawa courtroom Tuesday.

Rather, they must answer to charges related to the means they used to achieve their goal.

Tim Radcliffe told the court the two organizers didn’t just “hold the line” during their illegal occupation of downtown Ottawa last year, they “crossed the line, and in so doing they committed multiple crimes.”
