Crown prosecutors are seeking significantly longer prison sentences for Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber than had previously been indicated, according to a post by Lich on social media.
Lich and Barber said in April that prosecutors were seeking two-year sentences for them. On the morning of July 19, Lich posted on X saying that Crown lawyers had submitted documents to her and Barber’s legal teams ahead of their upcoming sentencing hearing, scheduled to take place in Ottawa on July 23.
