One of the main organizers of 'Freedom Convoy' protest that took place in Ottawa earlier this year will remain in custody through the Canada Day long weekend.
Tamara Lich has been ordered to remain behind bars until Tuesday, July 5 when she will face a full bail hearing.
The news comes as a new round of protests are hitting the capital in time for Canada Day.
Lich is accused of breaching her bail conditions and was arrested in Medicine Hat earlier this week. She wore a grey hoodie sweater via video link from
jail during a brief court appearance on June 30.
For her role in the original convoy protest, Lich has been charged with several offences including obstructing police and mischief.
The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service said they'll be taking a zero tolerance approach to any demonstrations.
