Police in the Canadian capital have arrested two leaders of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” that has occupied the city for nearly three weeks, as they prepare to “take action” to end the protesters.
Police on Thursday ramped up their presence in the area, where approximately 400 vehicles are still involved in what Ottawa residents and political leaders have described as an “occupation” and “siege“. They have told protesters to leave the area or face possible arrest and criminal charges.
