Live Updates: Pastor Derek Reimer faces bail review hearing in Calgary
After being arrested and jailed for protesting at an all-ages drag queen story hour event at a public library in Calgary, Pastor Derek Reimer is facing a bail review hearing today. Today's hearing is a bail review on Pastor Reimer's original charges wherein he was held for almost five days.
The pastor was previously charged with mischief and causing a disturbance for voicing his displeasure with children being exposed to transgender drag queens at Calgary's Seton Library. In a now-viral clip, he was forcefully removed from the premises of the library for his outspoken opposition to the event.
