An Anonymous Coward submitted the news that a Court ruled Church of Scientology Moscow branch should be 'dissolved':
A Russian court has ruled that the Moscow branch of the Church of Scientology should be dissolved.
The Moscow city court accepted the arguments of Russia's justice ministry that as the term "Scientology" is a registered US trademark, the Church cannot be considered a religious organisation.
The organisation plans to appeal, reports said.
The controversial church is based in Los Angeles, California and was found in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

The other things require gathering evidence.
In this case, all it takes is a TRADE mark. By definition, this is used in TRADE, i.e. business, not religion.
It's much easier when the accused bring their own legally binding evidence.
And just because we have worse crimes, doesn't mean we should shut down the courts until we are done gathering evidence for those, when they can spend the time on the easy cases that require no work by the prosecution.
