(LifeSiteNews) – Freedom Convoy co-leader Tamara Lich, who faces a potential seven-year jail sentence for her role in the 2022 protests, says she has put her “trust” in Jesus regarding the outcome of her trial sentencing verdict.

On Wednesday, a Lich supporter offered kind words, telling her, as well as colleague Chris Barber, that they and their “families are lifted to The Lord in prayer and support from ALL Canadians who see this political persecution for what it is.”

“Never forget that. Your stand for freedom and insight for our NATION is ABSOLUTELY Amazing. You are HEROES. Thank you,” X user “bob” wrote in reply.

In response, Lich wrote, “Thank you for your support and kind words.”

“I trust His plan for me,” she added.

X user ‘‘bob” had replied to Lich’s post on September 14 about an update to her and Barber’s looming sentencing verdict.

Lich was arrested on February 17, 2022, in Ottawa. Barber was arrested the same day.

The sentencing trial for Lich and Barber took place in July in a hearing. Earlier this year, they were found guilty of mischief in their roles in the 2022 convoy.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich revealed that the Canadian federal government is looking to put her in jail for no less than seven years and Barber for eight years.

A sentencing hearing has been scheduled in their case for October 7 in Ottawa.

Earlier this week, LifeSiteNews reported Lich called out Canada’s Department of Public Safety for “lies” after it boasted via an internal audit that it acted with a high “moral” standard in dealing with the 2022 protest against COVID mandates. 

Both Lich and Barber were the main faces of the 2022 Freedom Convoy, which descended upon Ottawa demanding an end to all COVID mandates.

In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the never-before-used Emergencies Act (EA) on February 14, 2022.

During the clear-out of protesters after the EA was put in place, one protester, an elderly lady, was trampled by a police horse, and one conservative female reporter was beaten by police and shot with a tear gas canister.

Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23.
