Pawlowski also repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sickening-polish-pastor-who-threw-gestapo-calgary-police-from-church-gets-another-visit-kicks-them-out-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ejected<\/a> police and health officials from his church when they attempted to enter during worship.<\/p>\n<p>After removing them from their car, officers placed the men on wet asphalt in the middle of a busy highway, handcuffed them, and dragged them into police vans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thrown like a piece of meat behind the police vehicle,\u201d Pawlowski said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had bruises all over my face, almost broke my shoulder,\u201d he continued, explaining that he had to lay down on his handcuffed hands in the back of the van for at least an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Recounting how he and his brother were taken to separate cells when they arrived at jail, Pawlowski alleged that they were not being afforded the basic amenities given even to neighboring inmates. \u201cThey\u2019re not allowing us to sleep, so 24 hours I can\u2019t sleep,\u201d he said. \u201cThe lights are so bright, it\u2019s absolutely crazy. Even though other inmates \u2014 for example, across from my cell \u2014 they turned the lights off so they could go to sleep. I don\u2019t have that same courtesy. We do not have blankets, we don\u2019t have pillows, nothing. We had to spend the whole day yesterday, and the whole night, and half a day right now on cold concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was never contacted by a lawyer,\u201d Pawlowski said, apparently unaware that multiple calls from his legal counsel were reportedly refused by the jail until Rebel News published this interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m being viewed here as a monkey in a circus,\u201d Pawlowski continued, claiming that police will periodically come gawk at him as if he were \u201ca trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019m in good spirits, I\u2019m not going to quit,\u201d Pawlowski maintained. \u201cThey will not silence me. I\u2019ll keep doing what I\u2019m doing, because if I don\u2019t have freedom, then I have nothing else. If we don\u2019t have freedom to worship our God, then what else do we have?\u201d He warned that if the freedom of religion is lost, then all the other rights of free societies will likewise crumble.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he is released, Pawlowski said, he plans to go after the civil authorities in court. \u201cI\u00a0want to start going after those villains. They\u2019re villains. They\u2019re wicked, evil people. What they\u2019re doing is evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pawlowski went on to say he thinks he has become Alberta Premier Jason Kenney\u2019s political prisoner because Kenney knows the threat people such as Pawlowski pose to his corrupt, incompetent leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Pawlowski\u2019s lawyer, Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xilZEIxbE5Y&#038;t=18s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described<\/a> Pawlowski\u2019s detention as \u201cquite bizarre,\u201d telling Rebel News, \u201cWe can\u2019t understand why he hasn\u2019t been released yet. We can\u2019t understand why it took them so long to get him in contact with his legal counsel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his imprisonment, Pawlowski said he remains hopeful.\u00a0\u201cI want to tell you Jesus wins in the end, and when we stand with him, that\u2019s where I draw my hope. My hope is in Christ. He redeemed me, he saved me. He changed the corrupted man into the man I am today, and I give him all the glory. And if you are depressed or suicidal or in a tough situation, remember that God has your back, and we know how the story ends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTruth wins in the end,\u201d he added before hanging up. \u201cGod bless you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Calgary Police did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment regarding Pawlowski\u2019s allegations of mistreatment.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Jailhouse interview with Pastor Artur Pawlowski\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z5O1PqME9_U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nazi-cowards-calgary-police-arrest-polish-pastor-who-refused-to-allow-police-health-officials-to-disrupt-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Nazi Cowards\u2019: Calgary Police Arrest Polish Pastor Who Refused To Allow Police, Health Officials To Disrupt Service<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/can-religious-liberty-survive-covid-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Can Religious Liberty Survive COVID-19?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
