Is Scientology Spreading Lies About Anonymous Protests?

LOCATION UNSPECIFIED - A report appeared on the website Indymedia claiming that protests staged by a group known as Anonymous have turned violent. The report suggested that violence broke out between protesters and some Scientologists, leading to the arrest of two Anonymous. However, the pictures accompanying the article were taken from the 2005 May 18th Halliburton Shareholders protest. Posters on the site were quick to point out this discrepancy, indicating that the police pictured in these images did not appear to resemble Australian police. Many are left wondering whether the article had been planted on the independent news source by the Church of Scientology in an attempt to portray the protests directed against it in an unfavorable light.
