The Canadian government has hunted down the organizers of the 2022 Freedom Convoy and placed them in custody. The Ottawa police issued the following warning: “DEMONSTRATORS: You must leave. You must cease further unlawful activity and immediately remove your vehicle and/or property from all unlawful protest sites. Anyone within the unlawful protest site may be arrested.”
Tamara Lich, one of the event organizers, was arrested by Ottawa police on Thursday night. Chris Barber, another organizer, was also taken by police. Lich listed a tearful video online stating that she is “not afraid.” “There’s a pretty good chance – well I think it’s inevitable at this point – but, uh, I’ll probably be going somewhere tomorrow where I’ll be getting three square meals a day. And that’s OK,” Lich said in the video that was posted that day before her arrest. “Please stay peaceful, and please take care of each other, and know that this too shall pass.”
