Tamara Lich Seeks Court Approval for International Travel, Including White House Visit

Tamara Lich, a key figure in the 2022 Ottawa convoy protest that paralyzed downtown for nearly a month, is requesting court permission to travel internationally, including visiting the White House and embarking on a Caribbean cruise.

Currently under house arrest for her role in the protest, Lich has already received exemptions to attend her grandchildren’s school and travel for work with Rebel News.
