The collective known as Anonymous will stage its 12th monthly protest against the 'Church' of Scientology this Saturday.

This will complete a full year of internet-driven demonstrations stemming from Scientology's attempts at censorship in January 2008. Following this shameful debacle, the "Project Chanology" movement was born. February 2008 then ushered in the start of an ongoing series of non-violent protests by the group 'Anonymous' at over 140 Scientology centres around the world on a monthly basis, including the Mission of Dublin Ltd on 62/63 Middle Abbey Street.

Anonymous is a loosely affiliated group of dedicated people from all walks of life, and all over the world, connected only by the common goal of exposing the corrupt and abusive practices of the 'Church' of Scientology. To further their goal, the internet-based activists have held monthly protests and rallies worldwide, with the intent of bringing Scientology abuses to the public domain and urging
politicians to take action.

The past year of activism has led to Anonymous being accused of an endless number of crimes, acts of retaliation and other malicious tactics employed by the 'Church' of Scientology. Despite this harassment, Anonymous continues to provide and freely distribute information relevant to the interests of the public, regardless of numerous attempts by Scientology to silence their criticism. The cause has been taken up by thousands worldwide, and continues to draw new
members daily.
