CoS front group critized for deception
reports on the Youth for Human Rights International holding a presentation at a school without disclosing their ties to Scientology.
"John Bevacqua, the principal of St. Patrick Regional Secondary School, said that he was not informed of the group's links to Scientology. "It was very unfortunate that they were not as forthcoming as they needed to be," he said in comments to the Vancouver Sun. The incident came to light when year 11 student John Ray Catingub reported the visit in an internet posting, titled "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". He was disturbed by the literature distributed by YHRI, particularly because it listed Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as a "famous human rights leader" alongside such historical figures as Kofi Annan, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Voltaire."
This is an interesting article as it gives another example of their behavior in Australia.
