Protester Sues Nashville's Scientology Centre For Injuries

The Tennessean reports today on a lawsuit filed against the Church of Scientology's Nashville Celebrity Centre by Thomas A. Parker, a member of the anti-Scientology group Anonymous. Parker and others planned to protest the April 25 opening of the Centre. The lawsuit alleges that Parker was confronted by two off-duty police officers who had been hired as security guards for the Centre, was pushed to the ground and arrested for criminal trespass. The incident occurred across the street, some 450 yards away from the Centre. Later the charges against Parker were dismissed. Parker suffered injuries to his shoulder, elbows and knees.
