For example, in the State Department's 1998 Europe report, <http://www.state.gov/www/global/human_rights/1998_hrp_report/98hrp_r eport_eur.html> Scientology was mentioned in the reports on Italy, Greece, Germany, Spain, France, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland. One would think that Scientology was a pretty special movement to merit all this executive attention. Just how special is shown by a look at some of Scientology's activities for the month of May, 1999.
