No Charges for Scientology Protester

Posted May 23, 08 1:10 PM CDT in Arts & Living,  World 

(Newser) – Charges against a 15-year-old who called Scientology as a ‘cult’ were dropped today, the BBC reports. The London police issued a mea culpa after a court ruled that the teen’s holding up a sign reading, "Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult," did not constitute “abusive or insulting” behavior.
