In Switzerland, where anti-drug events have regularly been held in Lucerne, Basel, Bern, Lausanne and other cities, Scientologists, with other local organizations, have participated in the closing of an infamous park to drug addicts and pushers.

French Scientologists have organized marches, concerts and street events to promote the Church’s anti-drug message, and have reached hundreds of thousands of Parisians.

To date, tens of thousands of South Africans have signed the honor roll, including the mayors from Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Soweto.

In both Australia and New Zealand, Scientologists campaign against drug abuse with a “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life” Honor Roll, receiving support from a wide range of sports celebrities, including the legendary New Zealand All Blacks rugby team and many famous automobile and motorcycle racing stars.
