After a two-day bail review held this week, Tamara Lich, one of the organizers of the trucker protest that has been paralyzed in downtown Ottawa for weeks, will know on Wednesday whether she will return to jail or not.
Tamara Lich, a figure associated with the convoy of trucks, is seeking a change in his bail conditions. In particular, he wants to return to Ontario and be able to use social networks.
However, crown lawyers accused him of violating bail conditions.

Break the rules
At his hearing on Friday, the Crown prosecutor, Moiz Karimjee, showed a photo of Ms Lich posted on social media. The latter wore the pendant offered to him. Here, you will find a truck as well as the words freedom and Canada.
If Karimjee indicated that it was, according to the Crown, a breach of one of its conditions.
Testimony from Alberta, Tamara Lich explained that the pendant had been gifted to him and he did not agree with the Crown prosecutor that the willingness to release the photo violated the terms of his bail requiring him not to verbally, in writing, financially or in any other way, support everything related to Freedom Convoy.
The photo was published on a page of the “Freedom Convoy” group and suggests that part of the sale will be given to the convoy of truckers. Ms. added. Lich that it did nothing to support the convoy, in part becauseno convoy to support.
A return to social networks
Albertan wants to go back to social networks. Right now, he can text and call people, but he doesn’t have access to social media platforms.
The latter insists that he wants to communicate with his family and friends who send him messages on social networks.
We live in the world of social media today, I think being completely banned on social media is like exile in the pastsaid Ms Lich in court. Personally, I don’t see why I can’t use my own social networks and even connect with them, that’s really about it.
At the questioning of the defense attorney Lawrence Greenspon On Thursday, Lich said he also wanted to change his bail conditions to allow him to travel to Ottawa.
The reasons for this request are subject to a judicial publication ban and cannot be disclosed.
He also added that he wants to attend an event in Toronto in June accept the value of freedom, but I will not violate my bail conditions to do sohe continued.
