Brisbane Anonymous, the Brisbane branch of the worldwide movement dedicated to exposing the activities of the "Church" of Scientology, held a rally and march today in Brisbane City. The protestors wore their trademark masks, to hide their identity from the "Church", so they could avoid retribution.
The marchers gathered in Post Office Square, and marched to Brisbane Square, along Queen, Edward, Elizabeth and George Streets. At Brisbane Square they handed out leaflets and showbags to the public and spoke out against the actions of the "Church of Scientology".
The theme of today's rally was "Fair Game Stop", which highlights the "Church" of Scientology's "Fair Game" policy, which means active members of the "Church" are encouraged to harass the "Church"'s opponents by any means deemed necessary. This has included forging bomb threats so that they appeared to come from Paulette Cooper, a journalist hostile to the "Church", as part of "Operation Freakout". Cooper's book "The Scandal of Scientology" can be read here.
Speakers at the rally told of the abuse that some members of the "Church" of Scientology have suffered.
