Now in Canada, she said there is “a push to throw a fellow Canadian behind bars for defending our rights.” .Lich and Freedom Convoy co-organizer Chris Barber appeared in court on Tuesday for their first day of a 16-day trial over charges related to the protest..READ MORE: Freedom Convoy's Barber, Lich begin sixteen-day trial today in Ottawa.They are facing charges of mischief, intimidation, obstructing a police officer, and counselling others to commit the same offences.
