Judge denies Tamara Lich's request to travel under house arrest

OTTAWA - Ontario judge Heather Perkins-McVey has denied Tamara Lich's request to travel internationally, according to the Canadian Press report. Lich, a prominent organizer of the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, was found guilty of mischief last October and sentenced to 12 months of house arrest. The judge ruled that Lich's current circumstances have not changed, and permitting her to travel abroad would reduce the deterrent impact of her sentence.
