An Ottawa judge is expected to decide today whether to grant bail to Tamara Lich, one of the leading organizers behind the protest against COVID-19 restrictions and the Liberal government on Parliament Hill.
Lich, who was arrested last Thursday and charged with counselling to commit mischief, appeared before Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois in a bail hearing on Saturday.
During that hearing, Lich promised to give up her advocacy of the protest and return to Alberta. The judge reserved her bail decision on Lich.
Patrick King, another prominent figure connected to the demonstrations, is also scheduled for a bail hearing today in Ottawa.
King, 44, was arrested on Friday and faces charges of mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police.
