French Nuclear Engineer abandon recourse

The French Nuclear engineer who has been fired for being a Scientologist abandoned his recourse before the Appeal Court in France. Read the announcement in ARS and the universal support of this obvious discrimination by critics, with some of them in glee about the fact that "Hubbard's idiocy will now get him a much lower paid job, which he richly deserve for being a dumb ass". The case has been reported at the time on Cesnur, Operation Clambake, and of course the Scientology website. Watch a video about it here.

Stuart Wyatt Arrested

Stuart Wyatt , a young man from the UK who has been actively protesting the scientology stress test carts in Plymouth, England, was arrested on June 13 for running over a Scientologist with his scooter. Wyatt has a neurological disorder "that is so serious he requires daily amounts of marijuana to function" (!!).

The Church's critics provided evidence proving that the Church had not actually held any protests on those days.
