The improbable crusade of Robert Minton

[Boston Globe, 7/9/98]

Today's Boston Globe features an article on the efforts of FACTNet director Bob Mintonto expose the dangers associated with Scientology. See the full article.

Excerpt: ''People don't have the right,'' continues Minton, his words becoming more impassioned with each sentence, ''to have their minds controlled and manipulated in the way the Scientologists manipulate people. I'm just so incredibly shocked at the pain Scientology can cause people. It's so obvious that Scientology, like other groups and cults, causes a lot of devastation.''

Also see the special section on FACTNet's web site which includes coverage of the June 16th Dateline episode on Bob Minton, details on the harassment he has endured, and the speech he presented to the Cult Information Service's Annual Conference on April 19, 1998, "Battling Scientology's Attack on Free Speech."
