April 23, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): Works by the Scientology originator, L. Ron Hubbard, will be added to Russia’s catalog of fanatic writing for weakening the long-established sacred principles of the populace of the Russian Federation. This information was stated by the Russian Prosecutor General’s headquarters on Wednesday.

The verdict has been set off by the transport prosecutors in the Siberian city of Surgut and the Khanty-Mansiisk customs officials. This verdict represents the most recent utilization of the passionately deliberated Russian legislation on fanaticism that aims to assault methods of conviction that are not long-established in Russia.

Persons in possession of fanatic resources can be incarcerated for up to 15 days or penalized $100. The legislation also permits sterner chastisement of suspects convicted of other felonies.

Prosecutors verbalized that they have seized 28 individual titles, including tomes, acoustic and videotape recordings by Hubbard, which were transported to inhabitants in Surgut from America. The resources were then dispatched for examination to the Russian psychiatrists, psychologists and sociologists, who concluded that they should not be circulated in Russia. This data was voiced by the Russian prosecutor’s workplace in a declaration.

A Surgut city court has endorsed the transport prosecutors’ application in its entirety.

The verdict of the ban has initiated a fresh lawful front against the Church of Scientology, which acquired a verdict against Russia at the European Court of Human Rights last year.

In keeping with the research demanded by the Russian prosecutors, the apprehended works consisted of notions rationalizing brutality on the whole and, especially, any way of vilifying the detractors of Scientology. This was stated by the Russian prosecutor’s workplace in a declaration. The works have obvious as well as veiled calls for societal and spiritual loathing and calls for obstructing the work of the state.
