Irish woman sues ScientologyMary Johnson an ex-Scientologist (1992-1994) has sued her former church. The Irish citizen claims she "suffered psychiatric and psychological injuries and post traumatic stress disorder," reports the Irish press.
Some former members have said it's difficult to leave Scientology. And according to Johnson she was threatened and intimidated when she decided deciding to leave the organization.
Historically, those who sue Scientology in Great Britain often have had it easier in court than Americans. Perhaps this will prove true in Ireland too.
The press in the British Isles has also been more outspoken in recent years about Scientology than the American media. Some say the controversial church threatens and intimidates reporters as well as its former adherents.
