About 100 people today gathered in Birmingham city centre to protest against the "illegal and unethical activities" of the so-called Church of Scientology (CoS), which is described by many to be more of a "cult" or a "commercial enterprise" than a church (€o$). The protest was organised by Anonymous, a loose group of web users opposed to Scientology, who had organised a global day of action against the 'church' worldwide on 10 February 2008.
Armed with lots of leaflets and placards, most protesters wore V for Vendetta masks or simply covered their faces with scarves, as the 'church' is known for reprisals and relentless harassment of its critics.
