Hamburg - The Hamburg Interior Agency has published
a brochure about Scientology which warns about its
re-education camps. "It is time that we address this
issue," said Ursula Caberta on Monday. She directs the
Work Group on Scientology for the agency. According
to her statements, members ready to leave the
organization are put into these camps in which they are
again made loyal. The author of the brochure is Canadian
sociologist Stephen Kent, who says he has conducted
numerous interviews with former Scientologists.
According to what he says, the camps are in the USA,
Great Britain and Denmark. The inmates are poorly fed,
required to do heavy labor, and subjected to hours of
interrogation. Kent's findings are verified by U.S. citizen
Stacy Brooks who, in her own words, was herself
dragged off to one of these camps when she was a
Scientologist. "I saw how several inmates were hit," she
said. According to Kent and Brooks, government
authorities are not doing anything about the camps.
Caberta said that German Scientology members have
also been put in the camps. That is why she has put out
the new brochure for public awareness.
