Keith Henson, well-known for his efforts to shed light on policies and activities of the Church of Scientology, was arrested February 2, 2007 and is being held in Prescott, AZ on a warrant related to his 2001 sentencing for misdemeanor "interfering with a religion." Due to fears for his safety Henson did not serve that sentence, instead choosing to emigrate to Canada and apply for asylum. Now those fears have returned to the forefront for Keith and his wife Arel.

This latest development comes after a struggle with Scientology extending more than a decade from when Keith Henson posted two pages from Scientology documents detailing medical and psychological policies onto the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology.
