Operation Fair Game: Stop
The May 10 Anonymous action highlights the Scientology practice of "fair game".
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"OPERATION: FAIR GAME STOP" PROTEST MAY 10TH 2008
Worldwide Protest Against the Scientology Fair Game Policy
YourTown, – Today Date 2008 – A peaceful protest against the abusive policies of Scientology will begin on May 10, 2008, at 11am at the corner of Street and Avenue Ave.
This is the fourth protest in as many months being promoted by a loose conglomeration of grassroots activists under the heading of "Anonymous". This international movement includes ex-Scientologists, longtime cult researchers, and concerned citizens from all walks of life.
May 10 will focus specifically on Scientology's "Fair Game Law", which states that persons or agencies Scientology considers to be enemies may be:
"deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."
Although Scientologists claim the Fair Game Law was cancelled in 1968, the text of the cancellation makes it clear that only the usage of the term "Fair Game" was canceled. Indeed, there are many examples demonstrating that the practice of Fair Game continues to this day.

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).
