Pastor Derek Reimer arrested for attending church service outside Calgary courthouse
Reimer is expected to spend the night in remand before making a court appearance tomorrow morning related to another ongoing legal proceeding.
Pastor Derek Reimer has once again found himself behind bars — this time, for attending a peaceful church service outside of the Calgary courthouse last Friday.
Reimer, who was at the courthouse for a scheduled appearance, was reportedly arrested because police claim he did not proceed directly into the building and then home upon his attendance.
Instead, he paused to take part the brief church service being held on the steps of the courthouse, organized by his supporters.
The timing is interesting, given Reimer was arrested the day before his appeal despite police having been aware of the incident for a week.
Rebel News will be in court tomorrow as Pastor Reimer appeals a criminal harassment conviction stemming from a brief, 90-second conversation with a Saddletowne Library manager.
His supporters are planning a vigil tonight at Calgary Remand at 7:30 p.m.
Rebel News periodically helps crowdfund legal fees for The Democracy Fund which is helping Pastor Derek Reimer fight a different legal matter. Please consider helping those other matters by making a donation below.
