I’m not a fan of Scientology by any means, but this is a ridiculously biased article, reporting on pretty ridiculous legal assertions. Like the Polish police told the reporter, if there is a crime committed by an individual or organization, that can be investigated or prosecuted. But to ban an organization simply because it is considered a “dangerous political movement” strips people of their right of free association. The fact that Scientology is spreading in these countries is not by itself evidence of anything. Why didn’t this reporter uncover some evidence of these alleged crimes during his undercover work?

Scientology is not a religion, it is a cult. I cannot figure out why there isn’t a basic standard upon which we allow the various religions to legally exist. Among the basic requirements should be that it doesn’t attack non-believers and that it does not try to isolate members from friends and family.

Agreed. This article is full of indicators for invented reporting. I bet she did not do any undercover work but hung out on the internet most of the “research time”. Reads like it at least.
