Everything is in the title, pretty shocking isn't it?
"Three French members of the Church of Scientology, suspected of holding a fourth person against their will, were arrested Monday in Nuoro, Sardinia, a local police spokesman told AFP. "The three people belong to the Church of Scientology, whereas the person being held was probably not a member," Fabrizio Mustaro, of the Nuoro Prefecture on the Mediterranean island, told AFP.
Police were alerted by a phone call that reported cries for help coming from a house on Mount Ortobene, near Nuoro, said Mustaro. Officers found a 47-year-old woman of Tunisian origin sleeping semi-naked on a mattress infested with vermin. She was subsequently hospitalised. Three other people at the house, a 42-year-old woman and two 18-year-old men, one of Tunisian origin, were arrested and charged with kidnapping.
The three suspects had been living in the Nuoro region for about year, said Mustaro. They had so far refused to speak to officers, he added. All three were due to appear in court late Monday or early Tuesday."

Yes sure, and this is a risky business, since the conviction is before criminal courts and can get them up to 20 years.
This is a fairly early article about l'affaire Boublil. She was suffering a major depression. Her brother, a retired medical doctor and Scientology OT VIII (the highest available level) was trying to fix her mental problems with Scientology's "Introspection Rundown." It's the same quack nonsense that killed Lisa McPherson in Florida years ago.
Her brother was also arrested when he arrived a bit later. Now they're all back in France, the victim is in a psychiatric hospital, and the matter is being investigated for possible prosecution.
