Hawley reiterates call for Canada to be placed on religious liberty watch list as pastor remains jailed
Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., reiterated his call for Canada to be placed on a special watch list of religious liberty violators as the country continues to imprison a Christian pastor who addressed the Freedom Convoy on the U.S.-Canada border earlier this month.
"God allows me to be here for a witness to the entire world, to show what happens when you kick God out of your nation. Lawlessness, injustice, abuse of power and corruption creeped in."
"The United States keeps a designation of folks who are religious liberty violators, nations that are religious liberty violators," Hawley said. "I've called for Canada to be put on that list, and I think that we need to consider all of the options that are available for that."
Last June, Hawley sent a letter to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) urging it to consider adding Canada to its watch list. The letter came after Pastor Tim Stephens of Calgary was arrested for the second time when a police helicopter found his Fairview Baptist Church gathering outside.
