Two key organizers of the so-called Freedom Convoy, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, have been arrested in Ottawa, CBC News has learned.
Lich was arrested Thursday evening and Barber earlier in the day by Ottawa police. Both remain in police custody and are expected to be charged criminally, according to sources.
The two have been described as key leaders of the protest in Ottawa, which has now hit the three-week mark.
Their arrests were among several made Thursday. Barber was seen a few blocks from Parliament Hill in handcuffs between two police officers.
Lich confirmed to The Canadian Press earlier Thursday that she was there when Barber, a trucker from Saskatchewan, was arrested and led away.
Lich said she was resigned to the fact that she was going to jail, adding her personal bank account had been frozen.
Maybe they can organize some truckers to block the entrance to the jail.
