Rebel News is on the ground at the Lethbridge courthouse, providing independent reporting on the trials of the truckers charged by the RCMP at the Coutts blockade.

On September 16, 2022, Alex Van Herk, Marco Van Huigenbos, and George Janzen were charged with Mischief over $5,000 by the RCMP, who suggested the three were ‘key participants’ of the Coutts blockade.

Alex, Marco and George could each spend a decade imprisoned for their alleged involvement in peaceful demonstrations against COVID-19 health regulations.

Rebel News is raising funds for their legal defence provided by The Democracy Fund and we’ve sent a news team to cover their ongoing trials at the Lethbridge courthouse in southern Alberta.

We’ll be posting all of our latest reports on the trial of the ‘Coutts Three’ right here on this page.
