6TH ANNUAL DEMONSTRATION
to call Government and public attention to the $CIENTOLOGY SCAM,
CLEARWATER FLORIDA, DECEMBER 2-3, 2000
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- The Church of Scientology's continued policies and actions that harm people have
prompted critics of the Church from around the world to schedule a 6th annual nonviolent
demonstration against Scientology at the Church's spiritual world headquarters in
Clearwater Florida.
- Ex-Scientologists and concerned citizens will be holding a press conference on December
2 and 3, in Clearwater to expose Scientology's
harmful policies and practices, telling their own experiences with this dangerous
organization.
- The night of Dec 3, a final candlelite demonstration will be held near the Ft. Harrison
Hotel where Lisa McPherson, a Scientologist for 18 years, died under mysterious
circumstances. Previous candlelite demonstartions have been aired on NBC's Public Eye,
show. That night, a candlelight vigil will be held (exactly 3 years after Lisa's death) to
remember her life cut off in her 36th year. Lisa's estate is suing the Church for wrongful
death. Much information on her case is on the internet (www.lisamcpherson.org), including
Scientologists' logs of her last 17 days, autopsy photos, and similar cases involving
Scientology's policy of imprisoning members they have labelled as "psychotic."
- Scientology has attempted to silence critics by distributing libelous material in
critics' neighborhoods, by harassing protesters, sending private investigators to
intimidate, attempting to close down the internet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, and
by suing critics and the media. Church members have harassed and intimidated peaceful
protesters at previous pickets in Clearwater and elsewhere.
