A Crown lawyer hoping to send Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich back to jail threatened the judge with a mistrial application on Thursday after being told to get back to his cross examination.
Lawyer Moiz Karimjee wants Lich detained over an alleged breach of her Mar. 7 bail conditions, which ordered that she not “verbally, in writing, financially, or by any other means, support anything related to the Freedom Convoy.”
Lich admitted in court this week to accepting a freedom award from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, but claimed that it did not break her bail conditions.
“I don’t feel that this is a breach. I don’t feel that that’s what the recognition is for. … I feel that the recognition is for inspiring Canadians to hold the government to account to the rule of law and to uphold their Charter rights,” said Lich.
