The lawyers defending Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are attempting to block nine Ottawa residents from taking the stand.

Chris Barber arrives at the Elgin Street courthouse in Ottawa on Sept. 11, 2023.Lich and Barber have already signed admissions that the “actions of certain individuals” who participated in the protest interfered with public transit and the lawful use and enjoyment of property and businesses.

The admission did not go far enough to justify blocking the testimony of people directly impacted by the protest, Crown attorney Siobhain Wetscher argued. Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said the question about whether the protest was peaceful doesn’t affect the charges Barber and Lich are facing, but could be an aggravating factor.
