Judge Kevin Philipps allowed Tamara Lich, one of the organizers of the trucks protest, to return to Ottawa.
While the Crown tried to re -incarcerate Ms Lich for violating her bail conditions, she eventually won her case.
Not only will he return to prison, but he still sees the conditions of his release eased to allow him to go to Ottawa.
On Wednesday, Judge Phillips agreed to change those to allow him to go to the federal capital, on the condition that he not enter the city center.
The reasons of Ms. Lich’s desire to travel to Ottawa is subject to a judicial publication ban and cannot be disclosed.
On the other hand, the Court denied the request of Mrs. Lich’s lawyer, Me Lawrence Greensponto ask, for his client, permission to return to social networks.
There was no return to prison for Ms Lich
During the two days of hearings last week, Crown prosecutor Moiz Karimjee tried to prove that Ms Lich did not respect the rules imposed by the Court when she was released on March 7.
The organizer of the truckers ’protest, which paralyzed downtown Ottawa for three weeks earlier this year, will receive an award of recognition from Justice Center for Constitutional Freedomsawarded in recognition of his role in leading the convoy of trucks.
The organization’s website explains that Ms. Lich took the initiative to help organize a peaceful protest and that he was suffered for the purpose of freedom by spending 18 days in prison unjustly.
The Crown defended that receiving this award, which would be given to her in June on a gala in Toronto, violated the conditions of Ms. Lich requiring him not to verbally, in writing, financially or in any other way, support anything related to the convoy of truckers and stay out of Ontario.
But the judge’s decision was different. It is not yet clear whether Ms. personally or not will attend the gala. Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
