The Embassy Cultural House (ECH) applauds and supports Zexi Li, a resident of Centretown, Ottawa, who has courageously brought a court injunction against the actions of the illegal occupiers of downtown Ottawa, over the “suffering and sound torture" caused by the use of truck horns blaring 24/7 and other disruptions and intimidation.
Zexi Li's courage has continued with a $306 million class-action lawsuit against the organizing participants in the “Freedom Convoy" who can only be described as transnational criminals in their illegal occupation of the city of Ottawa. Please watch this interview with Zexi Li on CBC: Ottawa resident says locals were 'suffering' under convoy occupation This ECH statement of support also acknowledges all of the other residents of Ottawa who organized blockades, on Cooper Street and at Bank St. and Riverside Drive, to stop more trucks and vehicles from entering the downtown area. There is a fund-raising campaign to support the class-action lawsuit: The Ottawa Fund. The ECH urges all those who are able to support Zexi Li and the people of Centretown, Ottawa. See articles in the Ottawa Citizen on the women organizing to “Stop the Occupation" of Ottawa and an article by Archana Rampuse on Feb. 14 on rabble.ca: From the frontlines: Ottawa community blocks trucks headed for downtown convoy.
