Book Description

Publication Date: July 13, 2014

The US Government repeatedly approved the issuance of R1 religious worker visas (or R2 for children under 21 and spouses related to the R1 recipients) to unknowing Russian Scientologists in the mid to late 1990’s. In the case of the Russians who went to the Church of Scientology, the US Government made possible a transnational crime that would inevitably take place each time one of their unknowing victims would arrive at the Church of Scientology's Flagship in Clearwater, Florida USA.

This book includes interviews with two Russian Scientologists who were convinced to leave their local churches and travel to the world headquarters of Scientology where they would receive training allowing them to return to their home churches as successful Scientologists. What they found was nothing short of menial labor. All promises were broken.

Also included in this book are interview with government, media and trafficking shelters in Russia with additional sad and horrific stories of other Russian trafficking victims. One interview with an anonymous Russian police Captain explores how young women are trafficked from Russia and why it remains difficult to impossible to find missing victims once they have been trafficked.

***************************************************

EDITED TO ADD:

I just wanted to note the author has a previous book on the same general topic. That book is discussed in the thread:

A Russian Victim of the Church of Scientology: A Story of Promises, Lies and Betrayal
http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthre...ntology-A-Story-of-Promises-Lies-and-Betrayal

It appears the book in the current thread, Human Trafficking by the US Church of Scientology, replaces the previous book, A Russian Victim of the Church of Scientology: A Story of Promises, Lies and Betrayal.

It appears the previous book, A Russian Victim of the Church of Scientology: A Story of Promises, Lies and Betrayal, is no longer listed for sale on Amazon.

CofS incorporates a lot of human trafficking techniques, like taking away the passports of foreign nationals. It is especially easy to manipulate and control foreign language speakers so I am very glad this issue is getting exposure via this book.

stubborn rebel sheep!
At last!

Human traficking and children slave work are 2 of the most watched issues (human rights) internationnaly.
While this book may act as an alert, there may have more scrutinity for the authorities and more pressure.

I am glad that this issue is adressed.
