Tamara Lich will not go back to jail, though a judge ruled to reinforce her social media ban in a bail review decision Wednesday morning.

Lich must live at her address in Medicine Hat under the supervision of a court-approved surety, where she is to have no contact with a list of fellow convoy organizers, and no access to social media. Karimjee produced a social media post from a woman selling convoy-themed pendants with a photo of Lich proudly wearing the one she had been sent as a gift. Article content

An Ottawa judge has decided that "Freedom Convoy" organizer Tamara Lich will remain released on bail while awaiting trial.

“The courts are not a thought police. The “Freedom Convoy” protest evolved into a weeks-long demonstration that gridlocked the streets of Ottawa. The terms of Lich’s release were intended to prevent a similar protest from happening in the national capital, the judge said, adding the court does not seek to control people’s political views.

“The courts are not a thought police. Social media “undoubtedly contributed to and even drove” Lich’s conduct related to the protest, and her separation from it is necessary to lower her risk of reoffending, said Phillips. “She’ll be able to conduct her life in a lot more normal fashion as a result of the judge’s ruling,” said Greenspon. The protest is over and has left Ottawa, he said, adding it would be “practically impossible” to mount a similar protest in the city again. She was released in March with a long list of conditions, including a ban from all social media and an order not to “support anything related to the Freedom Convoy.” The judge said he does not accept that Lich breached her release conditions by agreeing to receive an award, and added Lich can be trusted to respect the conditions of her release.

OTTAWA—Tamara Lich did not breach her bail conditions by accepting an award for her role as a key leader of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests this ...

The government has argued the invocation was necessary because the protests caused economic harm and included a threat of violence motivated by political extremism. But Phillips did modify one earlier bail condition that barred Lich — who was released on an order to remain in Medicine Hat, Alta. — from entering Ontario except to attend court or meet with her lawyer. Lich should stay away from it to lower the risk of allegedly breaking the law again, he concluded. Lich was arrested, denied bail and jailed for 18 days before she successfully appealed and was released from custody on March 7. For this reason, he disagreed with a previous bail decision that concluded she would likely face a “lengthy” prison sentence, stating that this is currently “impossible to say” with certainty. She will now be barred from downtown Ottawa so that she is not allowed to “walk around the very neighbourhoods she is alleged to have traumatized,” Phillips said.
