A senior Scientologist, who says she was imprisoned and tortured by the controversial religion's tyrannical leadership, has reiterated her testimony in a damaging TV interview.

Debbie Cook, who was one of Scientology's top brass executives before she quit in 2007, is involved in a legal wrangle with the Church, after sending a shock email denouncing the Chairman, David Miscavige. The message, which accused the chairman of hoarding and mismanaging funds, went out to 12,000 members just minutes after midnight on New Year's Day.

The Church immediately sought an injunction. But continued efforts to silence her appear to have backfired. Cook has now repeated claims that she made in court that she was held prisoner for 45 days in a crowded, ant-infested trailer in the California desert.
