Canadian Authorities Announce Media Could Be Arrested During Trucker Roundup, Issue Warning to Reporters
In one of the more shocking developments in the Canadian government’s crackdown on the Freedom Convoy, a group of anti-coronavirus mandate protesters, Ottawa police announced Friday that members of the media could be subject to arrest.
In other words, Canadian authorities apparently do not want the world to see what they are doing to clear the protesters from the capital city.
Ottawa police tweeted, “All media who are attending the area, please keep a distance and stay out of police operations for your safety. Anyone found within areas undergoing enforcement may be subject to arrest. There will be a media availability later today.”
