The sentencing hearings for Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, key organizers of Canada's 'Freedom Convoy' protests, have begun in Ottawa.
The Crown is seeking lengthy prison sentences—seven years for Lich and eight for Barber—following their convictions for mischief and related charges. This has sparked significant backlash from Conservative MPs and party leader Pierre Poilievre, who argue the prosecution is politically motivated and excessively harsh compared to sentences for more serious crimes. The case has ignited a national debate over justice, political influence, and the right to protest.
The final verdict is expected in August after nearly two years of legal proceedings.
