Kazakh Scientologists Appeal Church Closure June 23, 2009,
The leader of the Church of Scientology in the central Kazakh city of Qaraghandy has said he will appeal a decision to close their church, RFE/RL's Kazakh Service reports.
The Qaraghandy Appeals Court on June 12 upheld a lower-court decision to close the church.
Church leader Vadim Vitushkin told RFE/RL that if the decision to close his church stands, then other churches could face closure in the future. He said the closure of his church violates Kazakh law and the rights of the 5,000 followers of the Church of Scientology in Qaraghandy.
