Medicine Hat police arrested Tamara Lich on orders from the Ottawa police after a nationwide warrant was issued. Allegedly, she breached the conditions of her previous release after being arrested in Ottawa over mischief charges, amongst other things, in relation to the peaceful protest that took place in Ottawa.

We heard from the former Medicine Hat MP, and gave the FreeTamara.ca petition to Medicine Hat police, soon after there was a protest outside the local Remand Centre.

BREAKING: Supporters of Tamara Lich gathered in front of the remand centre where she is being held.
“It’s absolutely devastating” says one protester.

We spoke with those in attendance to hear what they thought about Tamara’s arrest, and the treatment she’s been faced with by our government in relation to the peaceful protests that took place earlier this year in Ottawa.

A trucker made his presence known at the remand centre in Medicine Hat where convoy organizer Tamara Lich is being held. @SydFizzard’s interview with the trucker and the protesters coming soon! https://t.co/poEXIjVz3S pic.twitter.com/i2ynDsqJK0

If you agree that Tamara is closer to being a political prisoner than an actual criminal, please head on to FreeTamara.ca and sign the petition to set her free.
