Barber was arrested by police officials in downtown Ottawa while he was walking down the street. In a video, widely shared on social media, Baber was being led by two Canadian police officers in a police car following his arrest.
Earlier this week, Tamara Lich who also considers himself among the chief organiser of the protest was also arrested by Ottawa police officials. Lich’s role was very important in organising economic support for the organisers of the truckers’ protests. Lich and Barber are likely to face criminal charges levelled against them by the Trudeau government.
Police also had warned the protesters, that the law enforcement would take respond more aggressively to the protest. According to the New York Times, police has distributed pamphlets in this regard.
