: prisonlawinsideoutChurch of Scientology: Boy faces court for 'cult not religion' placard
By John Hirst
A teenage boy is facing a possible criminal prosecution for holding a sign describing the Church of Scientology as a "cult", police said on Tuesday.
The boy, who is described only as a minor, was taking part in a demonstration outside the church's central London headquarters on May 10 when City of London Police officers ordered him to remove the placard.
It read: "Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult."
I fail to see how the truth can be construed as an offence under the Public Order Act.
