Introduction

Many people are going into Scientology buildings. This started in the USA and now happens in other countries like Australia.

Main Body

People call this 'speedrunning'. It is like a video game. They try to enter the buildings very fast. They wear masks and film videos for the internet. This happened in Canada, France, Germany, and the UK. In Australia, there were big problems. In Sydney, 100 people met and the police arrested two women. In Brisbane, more than 200 people tried to go inside a building. Police arrested a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old. The Church of Scientology is angry. They say these people are breaking the law and hurting their workers. Some people who left the church also dislike this. They say these videos are not helpful.

Conclusion

Police are watching the internet to stop more people from doing this.
