Accused \u0027Freedom Convoy\u0027 organizer Tamara Lich has retained the services of Ottawa criminal defence lawyer Lawrence Greenspon,
Lich was set to appear Monday morning before Superior Court Justice Robert Pelletier to ask the judge to relax some of the bail conditions that currently limit her access to social media.
Both were arrested on Feb. 17, the day before police made the massive arrests that brought an end to the three-week “occupation” of downtown streets. In a virtual hearing beset by technical difficulties — comically described by the judge as “something of an Italian opera that ended tragically” — the parties agreed to set a new date for a new Superior Court justice to hear the bail review.Article content
Lich, according to that application, is seeking to remove the bail condition barring her from accessing her social media accounts, arguing the condition “does not have a rational connection to the risk to public safety or the commission of further offences.”“The condition that she have no involvement in social media whatsoever is, in my view, unnecessarily broad and we intend to have that condition reviewed,” he said.
She is also prohibited from engaging in “the organization or promotion of anti-COVID-19 mandate activities and Freedom Convoy activities,” Johnston ruled, and is “not to verbally, in writing, financially or by any other means support anything related to the Freedom Convoy.”
