1. BREAKING: I just spoke on the phone with Pastor Artur Pawlowski. He is finally out of prison and back home, after his jailers at the Calgary Remand Centre refused for hours to honour Justice Germain's order to release him. That in itself is a scandal.

2. Pastor Artur says that even as he drove home from the jail, police followed him, both in vehicles and by helicopter. They're harassing him, targeting him, stalking him. This hasn't been about a virus for a long time. This is about snuffing out a political enemy of the state.

3. Pastor Artur says they moved him and his brother Dawid from jail to jail and did not notify his lawyers of that fact. They also repeatedly denied his requests to speak with his lawyers (and his lawyers told me they tried repeatedly to contact him, but were ignored/denied.)

4. Pastor Artur tells me that at his bail hearing this morning, he was literally in leg irons. Like he was a murderer who might run off or something. What an absolute, eternal disgrace to the Government of Alberta.

5. Pastor Artur told me they had initially sought to put him in solitary confinement for 24 days -- which they claimed was a Covid protection measure. Solitary confinement is widely regarded as a form of torture.

6. Pastor Artur told me that they tried to force him to wear a mask as well, but backed down.

7. We spoke about a few other matters that I will not disclose, though the government is surveilling him (and is likely listening to his communications -- they used sophisticated cell-phone "harvesting" equipment to identify everyone who attended the church.)

8. I signed off when one of his lawyers phoned him, and he took that call. If you want to help with his lawyers -- and he's going to need all the help he can get -- please go to http://www.SaveArtur.com . You'll received a (Canadian) charitable tax receipt. Thanks.

9. Pastor Artur called me back after his phone call with his lawyers. The only other news I have is that the contempt of court hearing that was scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed. (Obviously: the police prohibited him from consulting his lawyers). http://www.SaveArtur.com
