Members of the international Anonymous youth protest movement in the UK have just posted this on Youtube. Two ex-Scientologists have recently written, “No one believes the Church of Scientology is a church except Scientologists” and “It is not a hate crime to hate crime.” I think the intertwined issues of religion and religious hate crimes is an issue that is becoming more and more important. As is examining this situation in light of the UN Convention on Human Rights.
WARNING! Anti-Hate Police Target UK Anonymous on May 10
Thursday May 8th
Today, LONDON ANONYMOUS was Contacted by the Metropolitan Police and warned that they will be policed by ANTI-HATE crime officers at their protest on Saturday May 10.
Any sign/banner that’s based on opinion, rather than fact, will be removed from the Protester and their name taken.
If the officer believes the details given to be false, that protester will be arrested and charged with giving false details and inciting religious hatred.
We don’t know as yet whether this is going to apply to the rest of the UK.
This stinks of Scientology colluding with the police to prevent our right to free speech.
If it happens GET THE OFFICERS BADGE NUMBERS - and ensure those responsible are held accountable in front of public inquiry and forced to give proof and reasoning for their decisions.
This is contrary to the UN Convention on Human Rights which states we have the right to protest any religion (not that Scientology is a Religion).
