> During 1994 and 1995, my husband, (David Mayo), and I were persecuted
> in the Dominican Republic by Scientology acting through INTERPOL, DNCD,
> (Dominican Republic equivalent to U.S. DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency), US
> DEA, (or someone purporting to be a DEA agent), and someone purporting
> to be working for the FBI. Due to this persecution, we have been driven

> BACKGROUND
>
> David and I were former members of the Church of Scientology and left
> it in 1983 due to disagreements with it. We had tried to reform it from
> within and had been falsely imprisoned for several months (from August
> 1982-February 1983) after we had expressed disagreements. After we left
> the Church of Scientology, we were involved in a reform movement which
> resulted in the Church of the New Civilization being formed in July of
> 1983. The Church of the New Civilization started an Advanced Ability
> Center which was closed down in April of 1986 after extensive harassment
> by RTC/Church of Scientology, such as:
>
>
> In 1984, Private Investigator Al Bei did a noisy investigation of
> David Mayo and the AAC for Scientology (operating under Eugene Ingram's
> private investigator license), in which Al Bei had business cards
> printed and distributed that claimed he was a "Special Agent" working on
> a "Task Force against White Collar Crime and Drugs." Private
> investigators operating under Eugene Ingram's license called up parents
> of AAC staff clients of AAC, the bank for the AAC, neighbor's of the
> AAC's attorney (Gary Bright), the AAC's travel agent and asked questions
> about David Mayo's involvement with drug smuggling, gun smuggling, the
> Italian terrorist group, (The Red Brigade), whether the AAC was doing
> money laundering for the Mafia, and so forth. These were all false
> accusations, but the noisy investigation adversely effected the AAC.
>
>
> Additionally, in 1984, Al Bei contacted the FBI, INTERPOL, and the
> local Santa Barbara sheriff's department to try to get something to get
> David Mayo "jailed". Al Bei informed the FBI that he was waiting for
> evidence from Denmark concerning David Mayo's involvement with Robin
> Scott's theft of "stolen documents", but that no evidence in David
> Mayo's involvement ever arrived.
>
> RTC/Church of Scientology went on to file 4 lawsuits against the AAC
> and David Mayo alleging that David Mayo had received "stolen documents".
> All of these lawsuits were dismissed and Scientology was sanctioned
> heavily for abusive litigation in 1993. (The AAC had already been
> closed in 1986 due to harassment and abusive litigation by the Church of
> Scientology/RTC.)
>
>
> In June of 1994, Monique Yingling and Bill Drescher (Scientology
> lawyers), Mike Rinder (head of OSA), and Gerbode's lawyer paid a
> surprise visit to our lawyer, Jerold Fagelbaum. After a series of
> meetings between Miscavige and Gerbode, Miscavige and his lawyers had
> managed to get Gerbode to break his contract with CNC/David Mayo, and
> our lawyers. At that time, Gerbode had been the major contributor to
> the Mayo/CNC Legal Defense Fund. (Per Gerbode, the settlement was to
> end the harassment of him by Scientology.) Furthermore, as part of a
> secret settlement between Gerbode and Scientology, Gerbode had assigned
> over a canceled and superseded agreement to Scientology's C.O.S.T.
> corporation, (Church of Spiritual Technology), which C.O.S.T. was going
> to value at an enormously inflated 5.5 million dollars.
>
> We didn't cave in.
>
>
> Toward the end of July 1994 our phone rang in our home in the Dominican
> Republic. It was Mike Rinder, head of OSA. He wanted to arrange a
> meeting between OSA and David, with no lawyers present. David told him
> to send a proposal to our lawyer, Jerold Fagelbaum. Mike Rinder didn't
> want to do that.
>
>
> On August 4, 1994 I flew to Miami on personal matters. When I got to
> Miami I received an urgent message from the Perdomos, who managed the
> residential community where we lived in the Dominican Republic. DNCD
> agents had surrounded our home and had held Juan Perdomo in jail for
> several hours until David was located. Our home was searched and David
> had been taken off in hand cuffs by the DNCD. Noone knew why or where
> he had been taken. Guido Perdomo had only been told that it had been
> ordered by General Ventura Bayonet, the top DNCD person in the country.
> Guido was shaken up about it but told me there was nothing that could be
> done that day, and probably not until after the weekend. (It was
> Thursday, but he didn't think anything could be done about it on Friday
> because it was some sort of a holiday.)
>
>
> I was very upset and worried that David had been framed somehow by
> Scientology. I was also worried that my phone might be bugged, so I
> went to the nearest hotel and checked in. I was on the phone almost
> constantly that night and the next morning. I contacted Bill Kirkman,
> the American Consular Representative for the North Shore of the
> Dominican Republic. He was very helpful, but told me that there was
> nothing that could be done about it that night. He would contact the
> American Embassy in the morning. He assured me that he had known us for
> several years, (he lived down the road from us), and that he knew we
> didn't have the lifestyle of drug smugglers. (We lived in a modest home
> and didn't even have a car.)
>
>
> I called a lawyer I knew in L.A. who had represented someone in the
> Dominican Republic. He couldn't do anything, but got me in touch with
> someone he knew in Santo Domingo. The conditions in the Santo Domingo
> jail were awful. He told me that his client had contracted TB in jail
> after being held there for 3 weeks without being charged with anything.
> This worried me even more.
>
>
> The next day, Bill Kirkman phoned me and told me that David had been
> located. He was in the section for drug smugglers of the Santo Domingo
> prison. Good news, he was going to be released that day. I waited and
> waited. Still no word. I called the American Embassy in Santo Domingo
> and spoke with Carlos Medina. I was told that they had gone over to the
> prison and seen David's personal effects, including his credit cards, so
> he knew he was there. But he hadn't been allowed to see David or talk
> to him. Carlos Medina told me that the incident never had anything to
> do with drugs, David had been accused of "practicing Scientology without
> a license." INTERPOL had called the head of the Drug department,
> Ventura Bayonet. David would be released that day without being charged
> with anything as he had not committed any crime. Carlos Medina
> suggested to me that maybe David had taken on too much in trying to
> expose Scientology.
>
>
> I also spoke with Pat Alsup at the American Embassy.. Something
> strange had happened the day before. Someone who identified himself as
> a lawyer representing the Church of Scientology, named Aldrich, had
> called asking for the Mayo's address in the Dominican Republic. Aldrich
> had been told that they couldn't give out this information, but a half
> hour later someone who worked for the US DEA had phoned asking for the
> same information.
>
>
>
> 5:00 PM on August 5th, and I still hadn't heard from David. The
> American Embassy assured me that by now he should have been released. I
> was worried that there had been foul play. Finally, at midnight I
> received a call from David. They had released him that night. Relief.
>
>
> September 1994. We received several phone calls from friends or
> clients that a private investigator, named John Bertrant, had contacted
> them and asked them if they knew David Mayo was in jail. Bertrant told
> one client that Bertrant had done contract work for the government,
> including the CIA. (But he couldn't disclose who his client was in this
> case, only that he was working for a "group".)
>
>
> September 1994. Church of Spiritual Technology (C.O.S.T.) filed a
> lawsuit against David and I, as individuals, and the Church of the New
> Civilization in San Mateo County in California. David and I hadn't
> lived in that area since 1988, (we had lived in Redwood City between
> 1986-1988, but had lived in the Dominican Republic since 1988), and the
> CNC had never operated there. (The Advanced Ability Center had operated
> in Santa Barbara until it was closed in 1986.) Our lawyers were in
> Santa Barbara and L.A. Scientology's C.O.S.T. corporation immediately
> moved to attach the 2.9 million dollar sanction, so that it would be
> tied up if we were able to collect it in the lawsuit in the Central
> District of California.
>
>
> October 1994. Margaret Dellerson, C.O.S.T. private investigator, came
> to our home in the Dominican Republic at night while we were in Miami
> with two off-duty policemen that she had hired. She wanted to break
> into the house, but was stopped by Chago, who was watching the house for
> us. Chago got his machete and held it in front of her so she couldn't
> progress up the driveway. Chago had been drinking coffee with a German
> lady, (who was our neighbor), a German man, who was staying in her
> house, and her "sereno." Dellerson wrote in a declaration, falsely,
> that there were two armed guards with shotguns guarding our house. The
> two off-duty police agreed with Chago that what Dellerson was doing was
> incorrect and the three of them left.
>
>
> January 1994 -March 1994. More harassment. In January by the DNCD who
> believed that they were working from instructions from the FBI -- but
> when we checked with the American Embassy, the word came back that
> apparently the FBI wasn't doing an investigation. See David Mayo's
> posting for the details of this and for details of the harassment by the
> DNCD in March of 1995.
>
>
> On May 15, 1995 I flew back home to the Dominican Republic to pick up a
> few things and try to take care of some personal matters. I was worried
> about my pets and brought more food for them. Chago informed me that
> Margaret Dellerson, the Scientology private investigator from Florida,
> had been around with a couple off-duty police that she had paid to
> accompany her. He didn't know why. He advised me to not leave the
> house alone. This news made me nervous and I was afraid that there
> might be another dirty trick about to happen. I decided to cut my trip
> short and leave the next day.
>
>
> May 16, 1995. As I was going through passport control I was stopped.
> A DNCD official, named Medina, looked at my passport then back to the
> sheet of paper he had before him. He had a picture of me. He seemed as
> surprised as I was. I was escorted to the airport office of the DNCD.
> There began the interrogation. "Had I ever been arrested for drugs?"
> "Never." I was angry and frustrated, but that made them even more edgy.
> There were 5 DNCD agents in the office and me, alone. I wanted to make
> a phone call to the American Embassy. No. I couldn't make any phone
> calls. I knew I was in trouble because I had changed my plans and had
> told no one that I was flying out that day. I hadn't even told David.
> The American Consular Representative had told me that he was flying to
> Miami earlier that same day and he wouldn't be back for a week. They
> got my suitcases off the flight and searched them. They didn't find
> guns or drugs or money. They found a small amount of money in my purse
> which Medina announced as poverty level. Bautista wanted to know where
> my husband was -- out of the country.
>
>
> The questioning went on for 5 hours. Shortly after it started, they
> demanded I speak in Spanish, so the next 5 hours I struggled on in my
> poor Spanish, trying to answer their questions and explain the
> situation. Bautista told me they were going to take me to Santo Domingo
> and put me in jail overnight for questioning. (5 hours away.) Bautista
> and Medina drove me to my home, in a shiny new DNCD jeep -- to look at
> it and see if there was anybody else there. (I was told that the DNCD
> is largely funded by U.S. DEA.) Finally, around 7 PM, Medina told me
> that they were going to let me go. It had been a case of "mistaken
> identity". Medina confided to me that he didn't think it was a mistaken
> identity, though, because he had a picture of me windsurfing and I had
> just spent the last half hour telling him about Dominican Republic
> windsurfing conditions, (some of the best surf sailing conditions in the
> world). Medina also told me that I was right in thinking that
> Scientology was involved in the DNCD investigating me.
>
>
> Medina warned me that my name and picture were still at passport
> control, so I might have trouble getting out of the country the next
> day. He gave me the phone number of "Corcino", one of the DNCD agents,
> and told me to call him before I went through passport control. I had
> the impression that they had decided to let me go after their superiors
> had gotten off work. The situation might start all over again the next
> day, if I was still in the country when his superiors reported to work,
> or so I thought. Medina wanted to know which flight I was going out on.
> I said the first one, 8AM. He helped book me on it at the American
> Airlines counter.
>
>
> I took a taxi home. But now not only was I worried about Dellerson and
> her off-duty cops but the DNCD changing their minds before the morning.
> I felt that with all the persecution that had been happening that it
> wasn't safe to stay in the country. I didn't sleep at all that night.
> I kept packing and re-packing my suitcases. I didn't know if I would
> ever be able to return. I felt like I knew what it must have been like
> for the Cubans when they fled from Cuba. I was sad about my cats and
> dogs. They needed care. My cats had a skin problem and my female dog
> was pregnant again.
>
>
>
> May 16th, 1995. I was in a taxi on my way to the airport by 6AM. I
> checked in and decided to call Corcino, as I had been told to do. No
> one answered the phone. I went through passport control without being
> stopped. The flight started to board around 7:45. I thought I had it
> made until I saw 4 DNCD agents checking passports just before the door

> We haven't been back home since, now over a year later. Most of the

>
> We had a very good decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal on
