Two members of the powerful Roman Catholic organization Opus Dei went on trial in a Paris court on Thursday accused of subjecting a disciple to years of abusive working practices.
The case comes after a nine-year probe and centres on Catherine Tissier, who says that as a teenager she was forced to work 14-hour days, resulting in charges of inadequate remuneration and illegal employment.
Claire Bardon de Segonzac, the head of the Dosnon School attended by Tissier, and Agnes Duhail, head of the Couvrelles International Meeting Centre connected to the college in northern France, are defendants at the trial.
The University and Technical Culture Association (ACUT), which runs the school, is also a defendant, but has said it has no more than a "cultural link" with the conservative Opus Dei group. Full story...
