QUÉBEC CITY, QC: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is in Québec City to offer free legal information and advice to the truckers of the Freedom Convoy 2022.

By 3:00 p.m., there were between 5,000 and 10,000 demonstrators in the vicinity of the parliament building, massed on Place de Tourny or marching alongside a double line of trucks nearly a kilometer long on René-Lévesque Boulevard. Hundreds of pick-ups and cars added their horns to the chorus of heavy trucks.

A spokesman for the demonstrators urged supporters not to retaliate against possible police provocations, and assured them of the assistance of volunteer lawyers in case of difficulties.

“The Justice Centre is proud to help defend the political freedoms of these people of good will”, says Samuel Bachand, a lawyer with the Justice Centre.

The Justice Centre will remain on site through Sunday.

 


Le Centre Juridique assiste à la marche de milliers de manifestants devant l’Assemblée nationale

 

QUÉBEC, QC: Le Centre Juridique pour les Libertés Constitutionnelles est à Québec pour offrir aux camionneurs du Convoi Liberté 2022 des informations et des conseils juridiques gratuits.

Vers 15h00, on dénombrait entre 5 000 et 10 000 manifestants aux abords de l’Hôtel du Parlement. La plupart d’entre eux étaient massés sur la place de Tourny ou défilaient sur le boulevard René-Lévesque, aux côtés d’une double file de camions de près d’un kilomètre de long. Des camionnettes et des voitures, par centaines, ajoutaient leur klaxonnements au chœur des poids lourds.

Un porte-parole des manifestants a invité les sympathisants à ne pas riposter à d’éventuelles provocations policières, assurant par ailleurs le concours d’avocats bénévoles en cas de difficultés. « Le Centre juridique est fier de contribuer à la défense des libertés politiques de ces gens de bonne volonté ! » a réagi Me Samuel Bachand, avocat du Centre Juridique pour le Québec.

Le Centre sera sur place jusqu’à dimanche.
