A Court Rules on Munich’s “Sect Filter”
Germany’s Federal Administrative Court rules that Munich violated a Scientologist’s constitutional rights by denying her an e-bike subsidy after she refused to sign a “sect filter.” The court finds that conditioning the grant on a declaration concerning her beliefs interfered with the freedom of religion and belief guaranteed by Article 4 and violated the constitutional principle of equal treatment.
