German Scientologists Seek to Ban Surveillance April 12, 2003,
Scientology filed suits with state courts in Berlin and Cologne against Germany's federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, asking that continued monitoring of Scientologists be outlawed.
Since 1997, 15 of Germany's 16 states have monitored Scientologists on suspicion that the group is a cult with purely economic interests that endangers democracy by trying to infiltrate governments and companies.
