I will try to work on a press release for the March 15 protest ASAP. When it is done, it will need to be sent out to the media. - V for Anonymous 11:00, 11 March 2008 (MDT)

  • We need to encorporate the following points:
    • 1. the event/demostration itself
    • 2. that Anonymous is against the CHURCH of scientology, not the Religion.
    • 3. Why we are protesting
    • 4. Who Anonymous is - V for Anonymous 20:58, 11 March 2008 (MDT)


I am a pro, I'll help make this pro too. --Chaesong 20:41, 11 March 2008 (MDT)

March 15th press release - draft only

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Church of Scientology's Abuses Protested by Anonymous Activists Worldwide.

TORONTO, ONTARIO. March 11, 2008 - Thousands of people worldwide will stage a protest on March 15 against the Church of Scientology's routine abuse of its members and critics. Local members of the activist group calling itself "Anonymous," will picket at Toronto's Church of Scientology centre beginning at 11:00 A.M., located at 696 Yonge Street.

Protesters have been encouraged to wear, masks, scarves and other facial obstructions to protect their identity due to Scientology’s policy of defaming and harassing its critics. This "Fair Game" policy, named in a 1967 letter sent by church founder L. Ron Hubbard, has led to the stalking and harassment of critics like Emmy award-winning American filmmaker Mark Bunker and BBC British journalist John Sweeney.

The May 6, 1991 cover story of TIME Magazine called the Church of Scientology a “thriving cult of greed and power” and said, “Scientology poses as a religion but really is a ruthless global scam.” After it ran, TIME Magazine and its reporters were harassed, defamed and litigated against for years by the Church of Scientology.

This protest follows the group's first on February 10 which drew more than 7,500 people in over 100 cities across the globe to demonstrate peacefully in front of their local Scientology centers. It was organized in less than a month and is the largest demonstration against the Church of Scientology to date.

Anonymous is an internet-based group of concerned citizens, professionals, students, and ex-scientologists from around the world looking to expose the criminal acts of the Church of Scientology through awareness programs and peaceful protest.
