Polygamist Leader Calls His Arrest Religious Prosecution
The leader of a polygamous community in Canada says authorities
are engaging in religious persecution by charging him with practicing polygamy.
Winston Blackmore claims there are tens of thousands of polygamists across Canada,
but that his religious sect is being targeted and authorities are disregarding his right
to religious freedom. He told the media: "This is not about polygamy,
to us this is about religious persecution.
Authorities arrested both Blackmore, 52, and another man with polygamous factions in
British Columbia. Blackmore is charged with marrying 20 women (that's a lot more than anyone
on Big Love!) and Oler is accused of marrying two women. The case will be the first test of Canada's polygamy laws.
