According to the Daily Mail, the Church of Scientologists treats their followers as something like slave labour. The Scientology Sea Organisation compound in Los Angeles is said to be the headquarters of the worldwide faith organisation, but two former members have filed lawsuits against it, claiming they and other loyal members were forced to work around 100 hours a week for next to nothing.

Scientology is no stranger to controversy, but the latest reports suggest that two of the former followers, Marc Headley and Claire Headley (husband and wife) are demanding backpay of more than £1 million from the church.

There are worse accusations from the Headleys too; psychological abuse, pressure to have an abortion and cripplingly long working hours to name but a few.

The church’s response? Those filing lawsuits are “liars looking for money”.
