Valin Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Global News May 4 2021 A lawyer for an Alberta pastor accused of violating COVID-19 rules says the province’s health agency decided to penalize the church leader as a way to censor him. James Kitchen has told the trial of James Coates in Edmonton that his client was charged the same day he preached a sermon criticizing Alberta’s leadership on the pandemic. (Snip) Kitchen says public-health orders meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 have violated the pastor’s charter rights to freedom of expression, assembly and worship. Kitchen is a lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, an advocacy group representing Coates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
