Re: French trial: the media
Pfffft! Learn to research.
R. v. Church of Scientology of Toronto, the 1996 appeal decision which says nothing about their status or loss of it in Ontario. CanLII - 1996 CanLII 1650 (ON C.A.) The bulletin that I spent a lot of time hunting down: Becoming a recognized religious domination in Ontario Quote:
Gregg Hagglund, who torpedoed their charity application, says that no longer has any religious status (with the possible exception of Quebec) in Canada. I'm inclined to trust Gregg, but trust doesn't count without dox. So where are yours? |

Re: French trial: the media
La secte scientologue cherche à échapper à la mort civile | 24 heures
Quick translation of an article in French on a Swiss website: Scientology sect trying to escape civil death FRANCE | Prosecution calls for dissolution. Scientology lawyers condemn "a political decision". Jean-Noël Cuénod | Paris | June 17, 2009 | 00:02 (Swiss time) Will Scientology in France survive the trial which ends today in Paris? The two substitute prosecutors have requested the dissolution - as a legal entity - of the Spiritual Association of the Church of Scientology and its bookstore, the SEL. These are the two main entities of the sect in France. Liquidation or dissolution? In addition, the prosecution asked the three judges of the 12th Correctional Chamber to return a guilty verdict against seven French Scientology officials who are accused of organized fraud. All the requested sentences are suspended, but in certain cases the prosecutors requested a deprivation of civil rights. In previous editions, we discussed the possible liquidation of the sect if it were convicted as a legal entity. The prosecution went even further by calling for dissolution. The distinction between liquidation and dissolution is more than academic. Liquidation is ordered by a commercial court and does not necessarily prevent revival in other forms. Dissolution, however, entails the civil death of the affected business, party, or sect. Reviving a dissolved entity is a criminal offense. French law severely sanctions the "reconstitution of a dissolved association": the maximum penalty is three years imprisonment and 45,000 euros (over 67,000 Swiss francs). This provision dates back to the Popular Front government in 1936 and its purpose was to ban far-right leagues. It was also used by General de Gaulle in May 1968 to ban far-left groups! This explains the anxiety of the many Scientology lawyers who roamed the corridors of the Palais de Justice in Paris yesterday afternoon, issuing numerous comments accompanied by impressive movements of their black moiré sleeves. An abrupt change of course The principal defender of the sect, Patrick Maisonneuve, shared his indignation with us. "The public prosecutor's office initially decided to dismiss this case because of its weakness. It was the Court of Appeal that decided to hold this trial. What we are witnessing is a complete reversal on the part of the prosecution. A case that was groundless is now supposed to end with a civil death sentence! Since the prosecution is connected with the government, it's obvious that this change of course is political. The authorities in power are presently trying to curry favor with anti-sectarian organizations." The lawyers defending Scientology will continue until this evening to try to win acquittals that would permit the survival of the sect. To learn the outcome of this case, they will have to be patient: the verdict of the 12th Correctional Chamber will only be delivered this autumn. |

It means that scilons could create the same kind of organisation under a different name... The judge cannot dissolve 'Scientology' as such because it simply doesn't exist. We already know there are myriads of orgs, fronts, etc. On the other hand, scilons cannot / won't do it before the case is completely settled, most likely up to the European court of human rights. They'll go up to there for PR purpose, and because they DEPEND on the 'religious' stuff. Without it, they're just a bunch a crazy people using BS psychology, etc. This is a PR war. Anonymous is also good at it. |

Well, THEY say so. If you sometimes believe what they write. «The Assessment Appeal Board, province of British Columbia, ruled in 1990: "The Church of Scientology is a religious organization." On December 21, 1993, the Inspector General of Financial Institutions for the government of Quebec recognized the Church of Scientology of Montreal and the Church of Scientology of Quebec City as religious corporations.» The Bona Fides of the Scientology Religion But hey, that has been a subject of debate since the beginning of chanology. Quebecfags have done their homework. Are scilon leaks enough for you? Reconnaissance de la scientologie en tant que religion au québec Find somebody else to translate for you.

Re: French trial: the media
Thi is currently my fave WWP thread.
I'm still laughing over the 1998 document presented by the Scilons which cites euro-based cash transactions as well as their lack of reality-based knowledge about radiation. Scientologists: Aren't you tired of buying the same books over and over? In Soviet Russia, YouTube video watches YOU! Report YouTube Asshats here FOR GREAT JUSTICE. So I herd u liek BODY THETANS. o_O !! |
