WND EXCLUSIVE
AUSTRALIAN COURT SIDES WITH 'FALSE ACCUSATIONS'
American pro-life leader invited for speaking tour ordered out of country

A court in Australia on Friday sided with the “false accusations” of a pro-abortion lawmaker and ordered an American pro-life leader invited Down Under for a speaking tour about new American efforts to reveal the money-making baby body-parts trade of Planned Parenthood to be sent back to the United States.
WND reported Thursday that Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, whose book, “Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time,” outlines how to use the existing law and crack down legally on abortionists, was detained upon his arrival in Australia
Cheryl Sullenger, who works with Newman, explained Newman’s visa was canceled because Terri Butler, an abortion-promoting member of parliament accused Newman of being an “extremist” who believes abortionists should be “executed.”
“Newman has never advocated violence against abortion providers or facilities and has instead adamantly encouraged pro-life activists to work through the legal, legislative, and justice systems to bring abortionists who are breaking the law and harming women to justice,” Sullenger wrote.
“The pro-abortion bullies in Australia who have been slandering Troy Newman to the government have had to stoop to the lowest of lows to silence his message about Planned Parenthood’s criminality and his use of peaceful, law-abiding activism to expose abortion abuses,” said Sullenger. “Now that they have told so may lies about him, they must make sure he is deported lest their shame be exposed to the people of Australia.”
On Friday, a report from OR confirmed the Australian High Court backed the decision by the Ministry of Immigration to cancel Newman’s visa while he was traveling.
Newman had appealed the decision, which was made while he was en route and without proper notification, OR said.
Mary Collier of Australia Right to Life, which had invited Newman to Australia for a speaking tour, released a statement through OR.
“The judge accepted there was a serious question to be tried about whether the decision to cancel Troy’s visa was valid, having regard for the implied freedom of political communication,” she said. “However, the judge found that the balance of convenience did not favor the grant of interlocutory injunction to prevent his removal from Australia while that serious question is tried. On this basis, the application for an interlocutory injunction was refused. Any final determination of the matter will occur at some later date.”
Sullenger also released a statement citing Newman’s “25-year record of peaceful, law-abiding advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable call of human beings, the pre-born.”
“It is a sad day,” she said, “when downright lies and twisted words triumphs over truth, but that is exactly what happened today. I’m sorry that the Minister of Immigration was so worried about covering up his judgment lapse that he forgot to be concerned about the consequences of his actions not only on Troy but on innocent bystanders involved in Troy’s life.”
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton already had been targeted with a formal complaint regarding the treatment of Newman, who was held, according to OR, “in solitary confinement,” denied access to his lawyer and banned from communicating with his wife, who accompanied him on the trip.
Newman, in a written statement from behind bars, confirmed that authorities in Australia also knew he was connected to the American Center for Medical Progress, which has released over recent months nearly a dozen undercover videos of Planned Parenthood’s body-parts trade.
In the videos, Planned Parenthood executives were caught on undercover camera negotiating the sale of fetal body parts.
One executive, who said she didn’t want to be “low-balled,” joked, “I want a Lamborghini.”
Newman and his wife, Mellissa, were ordered to be on a return flight to the United States.
Sullenger said the organization will “consider our next step to set right this injustice” after their return.
One of the concerns, OR reported, is that the Australian government, when it canceled Newman’s visa, ordered him not to get on a flight from Denver to Los Angeles in the United States. OR called it a “gross overreach,” violating Newman’s rights in the U.S.
When United Airlines banned him from the domestic flight, Newman switched to another carrier and continued to Australia.
WND reported Butler’s letter claimed Newman’s visit to Australian would “incite discord” and “disrupt the ability of women to access lawful reproductive medicine.”
Newman had been invited by Australia Right to Life for a series of speaking engagements, prompting Butler to send her “spurious letter” to Minister of Immigration Peter Dutton.
