Lich, King to appear in court as Ottawa police keep clearing convoy blockade
Global News
King, Lich and other organizers of the trucker convoy also saw a temporary freeze to their bank accounts, including Bitcoin and cryptocurrency funds.
Pat King and Tamara Lich, two of the leading figures behind an anti-government protest on Parliament Hill, are set to appear in court today to face charges related to their role in the demonstration.
Ottawa police say King, 44, faces charges of mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police.
King livestreamed his own arrest on Facebook on Friday.
Police say King, who hails from Red Deer, Alta., will appear in court today.
King is among the more than 100 people police say they have arrested as part of a massive police operation to clear demonstrators who have been blockading Parliament Hill for nearly four weeks.
Two other protest organizers — Chris Barber and Tamara Lich — were arrested earlier on charges of counselling to commit mischief. Barber also faces charges of counselling to disobey a court order and obstructing police.
An Ontario Court granted Barber bail and Lich is set to appear in an Ottawa courtroom on Saturday for a bail hearing.
Justice Julie Bourgeois released Barber on a $100,000 bond and on the conditions that he leaves Ontario by next Wednesday and not publicly endorse the convoy or have any contact with the other major protest organizers.
