Stockwell Day has given a warning to Tamara Lich while she is behind bars for “political crimes.”.During an online event in July, Day warned Lich about her physical safety in jail and to stay strong mentally, as she has many supporters behind her. .Lich is in jail for her involvement as an organizer of the Freedom Convoy, which advocated for the elimination of COVID-19 mandates. The Freedom Convoy was a group of truckers who went to Ottawa to protest the mandates. .Lich was charged with multiple mischief charges and obstructing police for her involvement with the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa. She is back in jail after allegedly breaking release conditions..Day gave an example of a recent situation in a Canadian jail where the guards did not like a person and set the prisoner up to get his nose and jaw broken..“I want to tell you something that happened very recently. I’ve had it confirmed, of where a situation and the prisoner, in this case, told me this and it’s been verified,” said Day..“He was approached by a couple of guards. There was somebody in there who was charged with something pretty egregious that would make most of us recoil. The guards really didn’t like this person, and they informed this other prisoner.”.“We are going to be walking this person from this cell to this part of the jail at a certain time. You are going to be allowed to walk towards us as if you are heading to a certain facility. When you walk by, you are allowed to smash that person in the face as hard as you can and hopefully break their nose because we don’t like this person.” .Day said that the guards told the prisoner that they would not charge him with any crime for punching the other prisoner..“You’ll be trundled back to your cell, but you’ll never be charged and this person did it. He thinks he did break the person’s nose and jaw,” said Day..Day said he not suggesting this will happen to Lich, but it psychologically pressures her..“Am I suggesting this is going to happen to her? No, but I’m telling you. The psychological pressure that is on people when they are in a prison for what this is, a political crime,” said Day..Day told the Western Standard that most corrections officers follow their job requirements, but there are a few who do not..“Making people aware that being incarcerated always has emotional and physical risks. Though the majority of our corrections officers are dedicated professionals, there are always a few who do not have the best interest of prisoners at heart. For that reason, Tamara needs to be aware of all the support she has and that millions of Canadians are concerned for her and are watching very carefully how she is being treated.”.Day talked about the political prisoners he visited all over the world..“I have visited people in China, people in Iran, I have visited with the Dalai Lama in his position in exile in northern India,” said Day..Lich has tremendous pressure on her and “unspeakable things happen” in prison, according to Day..“I’m telling you the pressure that is put on people who are incarcerated and we see it all the time. There’s very few who emerge victorious because of the unspeakable things happen and they come out and just simply say I’m not interested anymore. It’s not that big of a deal. I’m going to let it go,” said Day..“So am I being overly dramatic. No, this happens all the time, and that woman needs untold support.”.Day said that the judges made an error in keeping Lich locked up..“This is a political prisoner situation. The judges who’ve ruled on this have erred egregiously,” said Day..Day said the judges, in this case, used Lich as an example to other political dissents, stay in line or go to jail and be denied bail. .“You can tell. I’m a little bit upset about this and it’s a signal to the rest of us. Step out of line, you are going to pay a dear price … her being in jail and not allowed bail. That is for this purpose and this purpose only,” said Day..Day called on the independent media to keep reporting on Lich, as they are the “truth tellers” and not the mainstream media..“The regular media won’t give her the treatment but the other media and let’s just call them the truth tellers will. So, we’ve got to use all those avenues,” said Day..Day inferred that the prime minister’s office was involved in crushing the freedom convoy and its organizers, including Lich..“Egregious overreach and we should not underestimate, right from the prime minister’s office … but I can tell you the anger, the petulance, and the arrogance in and around the prime minister’s office is at a boiling point … they have one thing and that is crush the dissidents,” said Day..“Their reach out of the PMO. You can talk to Jody Raybould and others. Their reach into our most sacred institutions is very deep. They have huge control and believe me that messages were sent from the top on this.”.Day wants people to send messages of support to Lich during this difficult time..“So please, anyway we can think of to get support to her and send that message needs to be done,” said Day.
