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]

...The increasing popularity of 'scientology' among the middle and upper class in Karachi. It is not clear whether the writer is a psychologist or not, but his report and analysis belies an attitude of suspicion and condescension insofar as dianetics and scientology make use of symbols far removed from mainstream psychology.

Karachi is home to Parsis and Burmese, Chinese and, of course, North Koreans. There are Seventh Day Adventists and Mormon missionaries here, Africans that came from Zanzibar and Kenya as warriors and have stayed on to set up Sufi shrines. "Did you know we have Scientologists here?

By the autumn of 2010, I began to spend my time in archival libraries and museums and interviewing a motley crew of Karachiites — from the scientologists who have infiltrated the city's jails (who, understandably, don't like to be known as scientologists, so they hide behind the cover of a health NGO curiously led by the principles of L Ron Hubbard) to South Korean evangelicals, urban planners and transgender rights activists.
