Tamara Lich Arrested for Alleged Bail Conditions Violation: Preventative Detention to Screw Up Dominion Day

Moments ago, Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich was arrested in her hometown of Medicine Hat, Alberta. Her lawyer, Keith Wilson, told me the police are currently holding her at the Medicine Hat Remand Centre, where she will remain for six days until they transport her to Ontario.

Tamara was one of the first arrests prior to Trudeau’s violent crackdown on the peaceful Ottawa protesters earlier this year. She spent several weeks in jail without bail before being released on extremely strict and politically-charged conditions.

Here’s what we know so far: Tamara’s bail conditions included a ban on organizing, participating, or promoting any protests. The activist judge who set her conditions also banned her from social media and had her communications restricted only to phone calls and texts. It seems that this arrest is directly related to a breach of those conditions. This is clearly politically-motivated imprisonment of a peaceful protester. Does this have anything to do with the upcoming protests in Ottawa on Canada Day? Why else would police hold her for six days — using transportation as an excuse — refusing to promptly take her before a judge?

P.S. Tamara Lich was a peaceful organizer of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. She is not the violent criminal her bail conditions make her out to be. If you agree that the Canadian government must stop the political persecution of Tamara Lich, sign our petition at FreeTamara.ca.
