OTTAWA — An Ontario judge says Tamara Lich, one of the key organizers of the 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protest in Ottawa, will not be allowed to travel abroad.

She was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest.

Perkins-McVey says allowing international travel would diminish the punitive and deterrent effects of her sentence.
