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.
