Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich is a “political prisoner” targeted by the federal government for holding political views that run counter to its own, says Conservative leadership candidate and MP Leslyn Lewis.

“[T]he answer is yes. Tamara does meet the definition of a political prisoner—she was imprisoned for her political beliefs and actions,” Lewis said in an email to her supporters on Aug. 11.
