Tamara Lich and Chris Barber face mischief charges related to the 2022 truck protests in Ottawa.

The trial for the leaders of the so-called Freedom Convoy protest that gridlocked Canada’s capital for weeks in 2022 began on Tuesday.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber each face counts of mischief and obstructing police.

The two were part of a group that led a convoy of lorries to Ottawa to protest against Covid-19 measures and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Experts say the outcome of the trial could reverberate beyond the courts.
