Scientology Protest

A worldwide Scientology Protest was organized on February 11, 2008, by a group known as "Anonymous." Cities involved included Toronto, Sydney, New York City, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Boston and London.

"Anonymous is perpetrating religious hate crimes against Churches of Scientology and individual Scientologists for no reason other than religious bigotry. It is Anonymous that has repeatedly attempted to suppress free speech through illegal assaults on church websites so as to prevent internet users from obtaining information."—Statement from the Church of Scientology The Daily Telegraph: Anonymous' Global Scientology protest kicks of in Australia (February 10, 2008)

"Anonymous invites you to join us in an act of solidarity. Anonymous invites you to take up the banner of free speech, of human rights, of family and freedom. Join us in protest outside of Scientology centers world wide. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We will be heard. Expect us."— Excerpt from an "Anonymous" YouTube video Computerworld: 'Anonymous' group declares online war on Scientology (February 8, 2008)
