The trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber continues on day seven today in Ottawa. Lich previously spent almost 50 days in jail on non-violent charges in relation to the protests. The Freedom Convoy demonstrations drew thousands of Canadians to Ottawa in early 2022 in opposition to COVID-19 restrictions.

Rebel News reporter Robert Kraychik is once again reporting from inside the Ottawa courthouse and will be providing live updates. Videographer Lincoln Jay is also on the scene to cover all of the reactions and commentary from outside the courthouse.

Tamara Lich/Chris Barber trial day 7 begins; observation: there's a noticeable mutual professional respect between the two prosecutors and two defense lawyers. It's not acrimonious, but congenial insofar as it can be given the adversarial context.https://t.co/TWDiMnjMOA

The Crown is playing footage from a Freedom Convoy press conference that appears to show the non-violent nature of the demonstrators.

Crown continues playing video of a 2022 Freedom Convoy press conference, @TomTSEC saying, "There is no violence, here. There is no insurrection. There is no threat to [the established governmental order]."https://t.co/TWDiMnjMOA

A video being played of former intelligence officer Tom Quiggin shows him speaking about the inaccurate reporting on the convoy by the mainstream media.

"What we're seeing in the legacy media has no bearing on what's happening [at the Freedom Convoy]," @TomTSEC said in the 2022 presser, describing the protest as an opportunity for "independent media" (i.e. @RebelNewsOnline) to "usurp the corporate media".https://t.co/TWDiMnjMOA
