E/CN.4/1995/91 page 11 This discrimination is said to be practised in particular by the political parties. In December 1991, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is said to have adopted a resolution prohibiting Scientologists from becoming members, leading in particular to the exclusion of members from the party because of their religious belief. In addition, the Youth Union, affiliated to the CDU, is reported to have published a brochure entitled ’Insects: No Thank You’ with a fly-swatter. The brochure was reportedly distributed at the CDU Federal Party Convention in February 1994. In February 1993, the Social Democrats (SPD), the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Free Liberal Party (FLP) and the STAAT party are said to have declared membership of the Church of Scientology incompatible with the principles of their political parties. The Special Rapporteur has also been informed of several cases of discrimination: In Hamburg, the Senate is said to have notified the Hamburg Church of Scientology on 26 March 1992 that it was refusing to rent out rooms to it. In Baden-Württemberg, the Government of the State of Baden-Württemberg is said to have taken a series of discriminatory measures against the Church of Scientology and its parishioners. These measures allegedly requested the Government to: Withdraw legal capacity from Scientology organizations; Start criminal investigations of the Church; Determine whether being an adherent of the religion could be regarded in the same way as drug dependence; Expand ’explanatory’ campaigns on Scientology in schools and government offices and for the general public; Prevent Scientology from exerting economic ’influence’, in cooperation with the Employers’ Association and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce; Continue to solicit the support of trade unions which have agreed to inform their members about the economic influence of Scientology and to counter that influence through trade union publications attacking anyone following Scientology; Draw up a complete list of other measures designed to ’reduce the activities of Scientology’. Identical measures are reported to have been taken in the States of Saarland, North Rhine-Westfalia, Bremen and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
