Over 200 vehicles participated in the second anniversary of the Freedom Convoy from Lethbridge to Coutts and back. The goal of the convoy was to raise awarness of the issues and money for legal fees for Chris Lysak, Tony Olienicke, Chris Carbet, Jerry Morin and James Sowery. They were arrested at the Coutts border blockade. that had been started as a protest of Trudeau’s mandates regarding COVID-19.
The prolonged detention without trial raises questions about the legal process and the rights of those detained. Many are calling the Coutts 4 political prisoners because they have been denied bail (something that the Criminal Code pretty much mandates to happen) and are still in jail without trial nearly two years after their arrest.
