Why was Tamara Lich denied permission to travel internationally?

An Ontario judge denied Tamara Lich's request to travel internationally because she is serving a 12-month house arrest sentence for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest. The judge cited concerns that international travel would undermine the punitive nature of her sentence and create jurisdictional enforcement issues if she breached conditions abroad.

What activities did Tamara Lich wish to undertake internationally?

Tamara Lich sought permission to travel internationally for her work with Rebel News. Her plans included conducting interviews for a documentary in Arizona, embarking on a book tour, making speaking appearances, and participating in a Caribbean cruise that serves as an annual fundraiser for Rebel News.

What was the judge's reasoning for denying the travel request?

The judge stated that granting the travel request could undermine the punitive and denunciatory character of Lich's sentence.

The judge also indicated that much of the proposed work could be done from Canada.
