Ottawa Police arrested at least two top organizers behind the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests against Covid-19 restrictions on Thursday as the Canadian government continues its attempts to shut down the demonstration.
Organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were arrested after Ottawa Police received emergency powers and worked to shut the protests in Canada’s capital down.
Ms Lich told the Canadian Press earlier that her personal bank account had already been frozen and she was resigned to going to jail.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed the government had begun freezing truckers' bank accounts.
"It is happening. I do have the numbers in front of me," she said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60420470
