A prominent Canadian pastor who has emerged as an outspoken critic of his government’s response to COVID-19 has been released from prison after nearly two months in custody.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski of Street Church and the Cave of Adallum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was released from prison Wednesday (March 30) after 51 days of being moved between a cell and solitary confinement.
Pawlowski was arrested last month for allegedly inciting “mischief” by addressing a crowd of truckers gathered at the Canada-United States border to protest the mandate requiring truck drivers who transport goods between the two countries to either get the COVID-19 vaccine or quarantine for several days upon re-entry into the country.
Pawlowski rose to fame for getting mad at police trying to shutdown his services—calling them “nazis” during the lockdown in Canada.
