President Emmanuel Macron’s government has proposed legislation to fight “cultish deviation”.
This includes the introduction of a new offence of exercising “psychological control” — which comes with a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
The Interministerial Mission for the Vigilance and the Fight Against Cultish Deviation — a French government agency which is dedicated to monitoring cult movements — said it had 4,020 reports of such communities operating in the country in 2021.
This is 33 per cent up on 2020 and 86 per cent higher than in 2015.
