Rebel News is providing in-depth reporting on the legal proceedings arising from the Freedom Convoy protests and the Coutts blockade. We're on the ground, at the courthouses, delivering detailed coverage, ensuring you stay informed — since the corporate media refuses to cover these precedent-setting trials.
Tamara Lich’s Trial
Tamara Lich has been charged with several minor, non-violent offences, including mischief. Rebel News is on the ground in Ottawa, providing fair and balanced coverage of every minute of Tamara's trial. Rebel News journalists are live-tweeting the trial and record a daily wrap-up report each evening to let you know what's happening. Check back here each day for the latest updates from Ottawa.
The Democracy Fund, a Canadian charity, is supporting Tamara Lich by crowdfunding her legal bills. The cost of Tamara's expert legal representation is almost half a million dollars, which Tamara, an ordinary mom and grandma from Medicine Hat, Alberta, cannot afford. But we have a secret weapon: Lawrence Greenspon, one of Ottawa's top lawyers, is on Tamara's side. Lawrence is accustomed to handling complex and serious cases, but his team is expensive — and they are worth every penny. If you can, please chip in to help cover Tamara's legal fees. All donations to The Democracy Fund are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
Coutts Blockade Trials
Rebel News has been closely following the Coutts blockade trials, providing comprehensive coverage of the legal proceedings involving Chris Carbert, Anthony Olienick, Jerry Morin, and Christopher Lysak. These individuals are facing charges stemming from their involvement in the 2022 protests at the Coutts, Alberta border crossing against COVID-19 mandates. Our reporting delves into the legal challenges they confront, highlighting concerns over civil liberties, government actions, and the broader implications for freedoms in Canada.
The battle to defend Alex Van Herk, George Janzen and Marco Van Huigenbos in court will likely cost hundreds of thousands of dollars — please help crowdfund their legal defence on this page. All donations qualify for a charitable tax receipt through The Democracy Fund, a registered Canadian charity.
Pastor Artur Pawlowsi‘s Trials
Rebel News has been front and center in covering every minute of the outrageous trial of Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the fearless freedom fighter who stood up to government tyranny during the Coutts blockade and refused to back down. Facing charges of mischief and inciting others to block critical infrastructure under Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defence Act, Pawlowski is being dragged through the courts in what is clearly a politically motivated witch hunt. The government's intent is obvious: silence those who dare to challenge their overreach. Rebel News has been on the ground exposing the sham trial, with hard-hitting interviews featuring Artur himself, exclusive courtroom updates, and behind-the-scenes insights into this battle for justice.
