Scientology and Human Rights February 8, 2024 For decades, scientologists have attempted to position themselves as credible human rights activists. Not a week goes by without a new self-congratulatory press release on their efforts to “make human rights a fact.” Front groups [&#8230;]]]></description>

Peter provided us with a first look at his latest reporting on the subject, which he kindly translated into for us. His persistence finally paid off:  &#160; Kurt Weiland, missing since 2007, found alive after 16 years &#8212; [&#8230;]]]></description>

The plaintiff never reported it to law enforcement, instead sending a demand for payment in exchange for her silence.

Here again we see the so-called &#8220;Stand League&#8221; (I prefer to call it by its true acronym, STAAD &#8212; &#8220;scientologists taking action against discrimination&#8221;) railing against anti-Semitism in one of their recent blog [&#8230;]]]></description>
