« La sujétion psychologique » une mine flottante juridique
Jusqu’à quel degré peut-on changer d’opinion, changer d’idéologie ou de croyance sans être accusé d’être sous influence néfaste ou « sectaire » ? C’est cette « ligne rouge » que les législateurs français ont introduite dans le droit français en créant le délit de « sujétion psychologique » le 12 juin 2001 (Loi About Picard)
Report on discrimination against spiritual and therapeutical minorities
The situation of minority religions and alternative medicine practitioners in France currently gives cause for grave concern. Although France has ratified the international texts on human rights, the reality in that country is quite different: freedom of thought is often denied.
Testimony on discrimination #2
As a Christian missionary for La Famille, we have been led to travel a lot and we have sometimes experienced difficulties in countries which were more or less welcoming. But I have to say, as a French citizen, that it is on French soil that I have had my most traumatizing experience.
Testimony on discrimination #3
Claude is a Protestant. The freedoms of his Evangelical Association are being more and more restricted due to the growing climate of fear of “cults” that is spreading in France today and affecting many religious groups. I represent the CLEF Association [Lyons Evangelization and Training Circle], which is affiliated with the French Evangelical Alliance. This Alliance is part of the Protestant Federation. There are about 5,000 of us in and around Lyon.
