Church of Scientology investigated over ‘slave labor’: report | Raw Story: "The FBI is investigating the Church of Scientology over allegations its practices may have violated human trafficking laws, a news report states.
According to a profile of filmmaker and former Scientologist Paul Haggis in the New Yorker, the FBI is running an ongoing investigation into claims the church pays some of its workers as little as $50 per week, forces children into 'billion-year' contracts and sometimes uses physical force to keep church members from escaping Scientology compounds.
The allegations center around Sea Org, a religious order inside the church whose 6,000 members are used by the church as labor, including maintenance of church properties."
