Title

Reports and memoranda on the Rajneeshpuram: Dissolution of the commune in September to October, 1985

Description

Part of a binder that was compiled for Governor Atiyeh with reports and memoranda on the Rajneeshpuram community. The several thousand residents of this community followed a charismatic leader named Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and attempted to form their own utopian city in rural Wasco county, Oregon. This section includes status reports, police log, and miscellaneous documents that relate to the community from September to October, 1985. During this period, their guru had left the commune under pressure from the government, and several other leaders had either been arrested or were under investigation. Notably, several leaders were suspected of having poisoned hundreds of people in The Dalles by spraying salmonella at a salad bar. Followers were leaving the Rajneeshpuram ranch.
