FRANCE TV a récemment sollicité Tony Ortega comme expert, un choix jugé discutable. Ancien rédacteur en chef du Village Voice, il a défendu Backpage.com, une plateforme impliquée dans la prostitution et le trafic d’enfants, en invoquant le Premier Amendement. Alors que les dirigeants de ce site ont été lourdement condamnés pour trafic et blanchiment d’argent, le passé d’Ortega en tant qu’apologiste de ces activités jette un doute sérieux sur son éthique et sa légitimité médiatique. Coleman de conclure : « Les médias doivent être conscients que donner une tribune à Tony Ortega détruit instantanément leur crédibilité, car personne n’utilise un apologiste du trafic sexuel d’enfants comme « source » dans ses articles. »

In preparation for the upcoming official visit to Germany by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, the non-governmental organization CAP Liberté de Conscience (CAP LC) has submitted a comprehensive report addressing specific concerns regarding systemic discrimination. The Special Rapporteur’s visit, scheduled to take place from 26 January to 6 February 2026, aims to assess the situation of freedom of opinion and expression in the country. This assessment includes reviewing legal, institutional, and policy frameworks that protect or restrict these fundamental rights, as well as measures addressing intolerance, negative stereotyping, and stigmatization.

We are very concerned about the systematic discrimination and exclusion of law-abiding citizens who follow the teachings of the Scientology religion in Germany.
In fact, there have been at least three thousand ninety-five cases in the last ten years in which German government agencies have included “faith-breaking” clauses in their invitations to bid, requiring bidders to renounce any association with Scientology.

Hungary: inappropriately using tax legislation and data
protection to harass a well-established minority religion

Since nearly 30 years, and still today in 2021, German citizens are in general life contexts required to
sign declarations that they did not and will not participate in any Scientology related activity before
obtaining some public and private jobs, or before getting a municipal grant to get an eBike and so
contribute to the city’s efforts on protecting the environment, as it has been happening with the City of
Munich.
