Pastor Artur Pawlowski's lawyer breaks down criminal conviction appeal after impassioned sermon at Coutts protest
The defiant pastor is appealing his criminal conviction related to a sermon he gave to truckers and their supporters at the anti-mandate protests in Coutts, Alberta in February 2022.
On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, lawyer Sarah Miller discussed Pastor Artur Pawlowski's appeal of his criminal conviction for giving a sermon to protesters in Coutts, Alberta in 2022.
Pastor Artur was convicted after he travelled to Coutts during the protests against government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates to deliver an inspirational speech to the demonstrators.

Miller stressed during the proceedings that Pastor Artur did not actually encourage a blockade of the border and was just communicating information during his sermon.
The defence and prosecution were debating a section of the criminal code which states, "s. 430(7): No person commits mischief within the meaning of this section by reason only that he attends at or near or approaches a dwelling-house or place for the purpose only of obtaining or communicating information."

"We're not saying that there was no mischief afoot. We're saying it's not on Pastor Artur," conveyed Miller.
"Pastor Artur did not actually incite mischief," she said.
The results of the appeal are currently unknown, and could possibly not come until 2025. "We just keep fighting, it's in our blood. Because if we don't, what is there?" said Levant.
