Ottawa — tamara lechoAn organizer of the “Freedom Convoy” is set to appear for a bail hearing in an Ottawa court today after being arrested last week for breaching a bail condition.
She was arrested in Medicine Hat, Alta., where she lives, on a Canada-wide arrest warrant sought by Ottawa police.
Police escorted her to the capital and she appeared before an Ottawa judge on Thursday before remaining in custody over the weekend.

She and fellow protest organizer Chris Barber are jointly charged with mischief, obstructing police, counseling others for mischief and intimidation.
He was released with a long list of conditions, including a ban on all social media and an order not to support anything related to the “freedom convoy”.
Police did not say which condition he is accused of violating.
