Scientology in Pakistan

Scientology in Pakistan is said to be followed among a very small number of people, mainly from the middle and upper classes of Karachi.^[1]^[2]

Scientologists, operating under the name Society for Advancement of Health, Education and the Environment (SAHEE) have administered the self-study programme named Criminon in Karachi jails, alleging 1,500 prisoners have completed the course.^[3]
