Pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother Dawid, who have already faced justice for defying health rules in the past, joined around 50 protesters outside Minister Jason Copping’s home.
Calgary police have confirmed they arrested two protesters for violating a court order, without disclosing their names. However, a video posted to the controversial pastor’s Facebook page shows the arrest of the latter and his brother shortly after the protest while they are in their car.
“This is what happens when you live in China-da,” Artur protested, filming himself. You are going to be arrested by the Gestapo. ”
The video, which is just over seven minutes long, contains a wide range of references to Nazism, with the pastor going so far as to rename Prime Minister Jason Kenney after “Adolf Kenney”.
Later, during the arrest of the two brothers, a third person is heard in the vehicle, filming the entire scene, calling the Calgary police “Nazis” and making fun of them.
The two brothers’ lawyer, Sarah Miller, confirmed to the Calgary Herald that the Pawlowskis were charged with breach of ordinance.
The Prime Minister is sorry for the turn of this New Year’s Eve. “All Albertans have the right to protest peacefully. This right does not allow encroaching on the land of private houses and harassing the families of people in the public service, ”he protested on Twitter.
“Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this section of the anti-vaccine conspirators has tried to intimidate government officials in this way. I’m sure the majority of Albertans reject this form of extremism, ”he added.
