Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich has conditions dropped by the Crown
Freedom enthusiast and trucker convoy organizer Tamara Lich had the no contact conditions between herself and co-accused Chris Barber dropped this morning.
Lich took to X, formerly Twitter, to post on the legal win, calling it a “step in the right direction.”
Just to ensure clarity, the no contact order between myself and Chris was dropped by the judge this morning as the evidence portion of the trial has concluded. The rest of my conditions and no contact orders still stand for now.

It’s a step in the right direction and I am…
“Just to ensure clarity,” the post begins, “the no contact order between myself and Chris was dropped by the judge this morning as the evidence portion of the trial has concluded. The rest of my conditions and no contact orders still stand for now.”
Other users chimed in with words of congratulations that the two can now be “seen in public together without being arrested.”
Congrats to @LichTamara and @ChrisBarber1975 who can now be seen in public together without being arrested. Those ridiculous conditions have now finally been lifted!
