Hi ! Below please find an article discussing possible new French laws pertaining to brainwashing. Sincerely, Neil Brick from http://www.knoxnews.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=FRANCE-SECTS-06-14-00&cat=II "France to crack down on sects By PAUL WEBSTER The Guardian June 14, 2000 PARIS - France will defy President Clinton's appeal to be more tolerant of religious sects and introduce draconian laws, including an offense of "mental manipulation" - brainwashing - which will carry a two-year prison sentence." "No one can forbid us to take action against sects in the interests of human rights... these movements flout the most elementary rights." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
