1 – Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich arrested by Canadian police
Fox News reports: Canadian “Freedom Convoy” leader Tamara Lich has been arrested by police in Ottawa, according to online reports.
CBC News reporter David Cochrane wrote in a tweet: “Convoy organizer Tamara Lich was arrested Thursday evening by Ottawa police and also remains in police custody. Both she and Chris Barber – who was arrested earlier – are expected to be charged criminally, according to sources.”
A clip showing Lich being detained by Ottawa police was also shared on social media by an account which is seemingly associated with the convoy.
The arrest comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on Monday, which gives the government power to clear protests by towing vehicles, and even more direct measures such as freezing personal bank accounts.
Hey it’s Tamara here. Just wanted to say thanks for the support with the Freedom Convoy. I COULDNT HAVE IMAGINE THIS. I dont care how many times I get Arrested by Tyrant Trudeau, HOLD THE LINE! Thanks for the follows and retweets 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️ pray for the truckers🙏
