Trial begins for Freedom Convoy protest organizers accused of paralyzing Canada's capital

Protest leaders Jody Wilson-Raybould and Tamara Lich are on trial for their roles in the disruptive trucker protests.
The Freedom Convoy demonstrations blocked streets and bridges in Ottawa for weeks in early 2022.
Prosecutors accuse the defendants of mischief, obstructing police, and counseling others to commit crimes.
The protests received donations and support from sympathizers in the U.S. and abroad.
The trial will likely impact other defendants and the protest movement more broadly.
