Ryan Schiavo, who describes himself as an “evangelist and missionary,” was arrested in London on July 22 for preaching that homosexuality is a sin, The Christian Post reported.
“At one point, I talked about the issue of homosexuality and transgenderism,” the publication noted. “I said that homosexuality is a sin; I talk about how it’s destructive, and the damage the transgender agenda is doing to children right now in the schools because it’s being pushed on children at a very young age here.”
His message drew the ire of one young woman, whom he believed was a lesbian. According to Schiavo, she was “very upset at what I had said, and so she called the police and the police came.”
His arrest was captured in a video. Schiavo was detained for purportedly violating Section 4A of the Public Order Act, which bans people from causing “intentional harassment, alarm, or distress.”
Not only was Schiavo put in jail for 10 hours, he was also forced to undergo a mental health evaluation by the National Health Service.
It will not be long before Christianity and conservative ideology are declared illegal and forbidden in once-free countries like Great Britain, Canada and the United States.
“All these institutions are working together with each other; they’re anti-Christ,” he added. “It’s time for the church to wake up and to be prepared for persecution. Freedom of speech and expression are very much under attack in the Western world, and I’m concerned that many of these Western countries are becoming communist.”
