‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Pat King given 3-month conditional sentence

  • Pat King was sentenced to three months of house arrest, 100 hours of community service, and one year of probation by an Ottawa court for his role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests.
  • King was found guilty on five of nine charges, including mischief and disobeying a court order, in November 2022.
  • Justice Charles Hackland acknowledged King's leadership role but deemed a lengthy sentence unnecessary due to a lack of aggravating factors against vulnerable populations.
  • King plans to serve his house arrest in Alberta, and his lawyer described the sentencing as 'very balanced,' noting it avoided making him a political prisoner.
