<div style="padding: 1em; margin: 10px; border: 2px dotted green;"> ==10 Commune Arrests== [[:Category:Press:Newsday|Newsday]] (Melville, NY) [[1990]]-07-10 Barcelona police said yesterday they had jailed 10 adults, including three Americans, and placed 22 minors under protective custody after raiding a commune belonging to an outlawed religious [[cult]]. The three U.S. citizens, six Spaniards and one Briton were arrested Sunday in raids on two villas near Barcelona that allegedly belonged to members of the [[Children of God]] sect. A police spokesman said the suspects were expected to appear before a judge today on suspicion of kidnaping and illegal proselytizing. [[Children of God]], also known as the Family of Love, was founded in California in [[1968]] by an itinerant preacher named [[David Berg]]. The group came to Europe in the early [[1970s]] and has been criticized by parents of members who say it relies on brainwashing and hypnotism to woo its young members. </div> [[Category:Press:Newsday]]
