"NARCONON"
®
Drug Rehab Center to be Closed
From: "Landeszeitung Schleswig-Holstein", page 3
-Itzehoe-(gö): The drug rehabilitation center "Narconon" is
to be closed. According to a statement by Hans-Peter
Bartels, the state sect commissioner, the city of Itzehoe,
Steinburg district, as well as the state administration of
Schleswig-Holstein are unanimous in this decision. Bartels
held a meeting in Itzehoe yesterday. "Narconon's activities
are no longer acceptable," he disclosed to our newspaper.
Bartels believes that there is a direct connection between
"Narconon" and the Scientology
®
sect - which, along with the
so-named "Abel" column, forms the three "columns" of the
Scientology Reich. The state attorney was investigating the
Itzehoe Center - the only "Narconon" branch in Germany -
for violations of the laws of medical practice. The
investigation into the death the former director is now
closed. The man definitely died as a result of illness. There
was no evidence of foul play, according to the district
attorney's office. The destiny of the Itzehoe Narconon
management lies in the fact that they did not register their
center as a business.
"Narconon" did not manage to be recognized as a
non-profit group. A year ago, the Itzehoe State Court had
already come to the decision that the application would be
denied. The "Narconon" people did not voice an opinion.
Speaker Slavi Ivanovic gave no comment to the state
attorney's offices investigation. She conceded that part of
the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard were
used.
