MIVILUDES: French Anti-Cult Agency Suspended Amid Accusations of Abuse and Manipulation

Paris, June 14, 2024 - The controversial French agency MIVILUDES, established to combat cult abuses, has been suspended by the Supreme Administrative Court of Paris following a preliminary hearing on accusations brought by the Jehovah's Witnesses. This decision comes at a critical time, raising concerns about how the agency has conducted its investigations and public communications.


The Accusations Against MIVILUDES

The accusations against MIVILUDES are based on statements published in its 2018-2020 reports and the 2021 report on "The Fight Against Sectarian Deviances." The prayers of Jehovah's Witnesses, central to the dispute, have been the subject of detailed analysis and statements that have sparked significant controversy. According to a legal database, the longer statements were blatantly evident, while the shorter ones were not, casting doubt on the integrity of MIVILUDES' investigations.


The Shadow of FECRIS and Public Funds Management

A key element of the case involves the anti-cult federation FECRIS, which MIVILUDES aimed to transform into a symbol of the fight against sectarian deviances. However, a crucial question emerges: how are public funds being used in these operations? In Paris, many French citizens have found themselves in situations of severe abuse regarding the prayers of Jehovah's Witnesses, raising concerns about the transparent and responsible management of resources.


Controversial and Ambiguous Statements

MIVILUDES published four statements that rendered the prayers of Jehovah's Witnesses invisible. Two of these statements addressed sensitive topics such as blood transfusions and the human body, used to attack the Scriptures of Jehovah's Witnesses. The statements were characterized by bureaucratic and ambiguous language, further complicating the understanding of their real scope. The legal database also criticized MIVILUDES for not clearly expressing its position, creating confusion and uncertainty.


The Issue of Child Sexual Abuse

A particularly controversial aspect of the MIVILUDES 2018-2020 report concerns the sexual abuse of children. The agency's statements on this issue were confusing and unclear, raising concerns about how the investigations were conducted and communicated. MIVILUDES described situations of alleged abuse without providing concrete evidence, increasing suspicion of inadequate and sensationalistic handling of the problem.


Neutrality in Question

MIVILUDES, which is supposed to maintain a balanced, independent, and neutral role, has been accused of spreading incorrect or misleading information. The legal database highlighted that MIVILUDES made significant errors in its statements, making them unjust and unconvincing. This lack of transparency and accuracy undermines the agency's credibility and raises doubts about its ability to operate impartially.


Conclusions and Future Implications

The suspension of MIVILUDES is a strong signal that raises crucial questions about the management of cult investigations in France. The need for a thorough review of the agency's operations is evident, as is the importance of ensuring that public resources are used transparently and effectively. The Jehovah's Witnesses, meanwhile, continue their evangelizing work, hoping for a future where their religious practices can be respected without undue interference.

This situation represents a critical moment for France, which must now confront its anti-cult policies and ensure they align with principles of justice, transparency, and respect for human rights.

Inquisitorial Power: How “Cult-Hunting” Became a Shadow System of Control

  A Dark Transformation In today’s Russia, what was once presented as the noble mission of “protecting society from sects” seems to have taken on a far more disturbing face. Far from safeguarding citizens, the so-called fight against religious movements has turned into a tool to manipulate institutions, silence dissent, and spread fear. Beyond Faith: A Political Instrument According to several observers, this movement is much more than a religious initiative. It has evolved into a hybrid system —combining political Orthodoxy, Soviet-style repression, and authoritarian ideology. The result? A totalitarian sect in disguise , using the language of faith to conceal a mechanism of power. The Tactics of Control Investigations highlight specific strategies: Systematic propaganda labeling minorities and dissenters as “sectarians”; Parallel justice structures that bypass normal legal procedures; Collapse of public trust , with citizens convinced that transparency and fai...

The Shocking Truth Behind FECRIS: A Legacy of Violence and Manipulation

Lawyer Eugenia Tarasenko has revealed a disturbing truth about the hidden face of the modern and seemingly noble international sect FECRIS. Her investigations have unveiled the dark roots of their main method, known as deprogramming, which has its origins in the 70s and 80s, within the sadistic organization “Cult Awareness Network” (CAN), also known as “Cult Alert Network”. In a video interview, lawyer Tarasenko details the brutal practices of the CAN, an organization that operated in the United States and terrorized countless individuals. “This movement, let’s call it that, was widespread in the United States in the Seventies and Eighties,” explains Tarasenko. “If a person’s entourage - relatives and friends - did not like the fact that this person was part of an organization and simply did not pay attention to his parents or his family, but was engaged in his life, they ordered the deprogramming service.” https://rutube.ru/video/5b7b1c4aa4bbedad25a06a6111d38c0d/ This deprogramming, f...

 “The method of guilt by association is a manipulative technique in which an organization, targeted for persecution, is deliberately linked to negative images of extremist groups, terrorist organizations, criminals, and dictators already ingrained in public perception.” — Documentary “ The IMPACT ” In the previous article, “Echoes of the Past: The Lessons of the 'Roman Formula',” we explored the strategy of anticult organizations to suppress and persecute groups of people—a practice that has enabled and continues to enable the destruction of entire organizations, even leading to the physical elimination of their members. Professor Massimo Introvigne has defined this process as the “Roman Formula,” which consists of three phases: Intolerance Discrimination Persecution In this article, we will analyze the tools used by anticultists to impose their will on entire nations, transforming the population into instruments for their dark plans. During the first phase, that of intolerance...
