Canadian pastor defiant as judge orders him to parrot 'medical experts' from pulpit: 'I will not obey'
Fox News
The Polish-Canadian pastor who has been jailed for holding church services in Calgary, Alberta, said he will refuse to obey a court order requiring him to publicly echo the opinions of medical experts about COVID-19.
The ruling is the latest development in Alberta's ongoing legal battle against Pawlowski, who faced a civil contempt charge for holding church services in violation of a court order forbidding organizing, promoting or attending an "illegal public gathering."
He faced another contempt charge for repeatedly ejecting armed officials attempting to inspect his sanctuary for COVID-19 compliance, for which he first drew international attention.
