SUPPRESSIVE ACT

DEALING WITH A DECLARED SUPPRESSIVE PERSON

REF: HCO PL 16 May 80 II ETHICS SUPPRESSIVE ACTS [-] SUPPRESSION OF
SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS

"A SUPPRESSIVE PERSON or GROUP is one that actively seeks, by action
or statement, to suppress or damage Scientology or a Scientologist by
Suppressive Acts.

"SUPPRESSIVE ACTS are acts calculated to impede or destroy Sceintology
or a Scientologist in his studies or counselling, or to affect
adversely his well-being." (HCO PL 16 May 80 II)

It is a SUPPRESSIVE ACT to deal with a Declared SUPPRESSIVE PERSON
unless you are the named terminal to deal with the SP (i. e. Sea Org
MAA). Per the above referenced pronounced PL, "continued adherence to
a person or group accurately pronounced a Suppressive Person or Group
by HCO" is a Suppressive Act.

To maintain a line with, offer support to, or in any way grant
credance [sic] to such a person indicates nothing more than agreement
with that person's destructive intentions and acts. Such dealings in
fact act as a covert or overt attempt to undermine and negate the
ethics and justice strengths of our ecclesiastical structure.

Standard on-policy lines exist should a Declared SP seek to set things
right and make up for damage caused.

So labeled and declared, a person claiming injustice has the right to
request a Committee of Evidence via their nearest HCO.

However, unless you are the named authorized terminal to deal with the
Suppressive Person, to deal with one constitutes no less than a
Suppressive Act. Such an act is cause to have levied against you the
same per policy Church justice procedures afforded any Suppressive
Person. Full ethics penalties will be applied.

Where the matter concerns family relations or where a Scientologist is
in the position of being closely associated to a person found to be
Suppressive the materials covering Potential Trouble Sources apply.
There is no practice of "disconnection" allowed in the Church of
Scientology and these materials cover completely how one may use
proper lines and procedures to handle a PTS condition.

One does not however use a false excuse of "handling my PTS condition"
to covertly maintain a line of supportful dealings and agreements with
an SP. If you wish to maintain such a line, do so outside of current
and future membership in the Church.

To deal with a Suppressive is a Suppressive Act.

The above is unequivocal Church Policy.
