Ottawa protest organizer Tamara Lich will remain in custody in Ottawa until at least Tuesday after she was arrested in Alberta for allegedly breaching bail conditions.
Lich appeared in an Ottawa court Thursday by video link from the Ottawa police station on the new charge. A full-day bail hearing has been scheduled for next Tuesday.
The Crown alleges that Lich broke a bail condition that prohibited her from communicating with 10 others involved in the Freedom Convoy that occupied Ottawa earlier this year – including Tom Marazzo, a spokesperson at the protests – unless in the presence of her legal counsel.
She was photographed with Marazzo at a “Freedom Award” gala in Toronto on June 16. The Crown claims a video posted on Facebook shows she also sat at Marazzo’s table after she spoke at the event.
“Following Lich receiving her award and returning to her table, Lich can be observed speaking to Tom Marazzo,” according the prosecution summary of the charges that was filed in court Thursday.
“Furthermore during the evening, Lich and Marazzo along with others, posed for a photograph together, with Lich and Marazzo beside each other, arm in arm.”
The Crown materials include a link to a Facebook video that allegedly shows “there is also communication. She appears to whisper something in his ear.”
