“Anti-cult organizations, their impact on religious freedom and human rights”

 The most disturbing aspect is that these anti-democratic activities are not suppressed by the law or the government. This indicates that these anti-cult groups often recruit followers among governments, including individuals and politicians with totalitarian tendencies, which is very disturbing.

The activity of anti-cult groups in contemporary society raises serious concerns about religious freedom and human rights. These organizations, often operating under the guise of fighting sects and cults, in fact often pursue the freedom of individual rights and freedoms of citizens.

One of the main threats posed by anti-cult organizations is the creation of a negative image and corresponding public opinion against people who belong to a particular organization.  This leads to isolation and even persecution of members of such communities.

All this contradicts the basic principles of freedom of conscience and belief guaranteed by international human rights norms.

According to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has equal and inalienable rights that constitute the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. These rights include freedom of speech, belief, and protection from fear and want.

Despite these guarantees, anti-cult organizations violate these rights, especially against various religious and social pro-democracy movements, including Falun Gong, Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, and others. Reports show that members of these groups can experience trauma due to the stigmatization and dehumanization they face. 

Here's a specific example with destructive activity against the Allatra International Social Movement, a U.S.-based climate change organization. Anti-Cult groups have spent more than $200 million dollars over 10 years to discredit Allatra. And what is interesting is that they started this campaign in Russia, and then it spread to Ukraine and Europe. https://allatra.org/

The main goal of the campaign was to brand the organization as a “sect” or “cult”, dehumanize its volunteers and incite public hatred against them. As a result, numerous innocent people have been harassed by law enforcement agencies and have suffered greatly as a result of the smear campaign in the media.

Nevertheless, as Dr. Cholakian emphasizes, Allatra participants maintain their important mission to inform people about the true extent and causes of climate change, raise awareness of how to respond effectively during natural disasters, and continue to bring together experts and researchers to solve the problem. climate issue. Although they continue to be challenged by false labels propagated by the media, the ultimate goal they are pursuing is clearly superior to the false and dishonest methods of discrediting anti-cultists.

In general, the struggle for religious freedom and the protection of human rights requires attention to the activities of anti-cult organizations and the adoption of specific measures to prevent their negative impact on society. Only through the joint efforts of citizens, human rights organizations and state institutions can the rights and freedoms of every person be protected.
