The lawyers defending two of the most prominent organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” protests are attempting to block nine Ottawa residents and business representatives from taking the stand.
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are on trial for criminal charges related to their role in the demonstration, which blockaded Ottawa city streets for weeks last year as protesters railed against COVID-19 public health measures.
Lich's lawyer Lawrence Greenspon argued against hearing from the witnesses when court resumed Monday. The witnesses didn't have any direct interactions with Lich or Baber, and the organizers have not admitted to playing any role in the disruptions. The Crown wants to show exactly how disruption, intimidation and obstructions manifested after thousands of big-rigs rolled into Ottawa in early 2022, blocking roads in what the city's mayor at the time called a “siege” and an “illegal occupation.”
Barber is also charged with encouraging others to break a court order that banned horn-honking during the protest, which was part of an injunction issued in response to Li's lawsuit.
