During the conference, another guest from France, Thierry Deval from Coordination des Associations et des Particuliers pour la Liberté de Conscience (CAP) offered some concrete examples of misapplications of the mind manipulation law, such as the case of MIVILUDES (French inter-governmental agency) and FECRIS (under a French-based NGO umbrella).

In the conference in Copenhagen Mr. Deval discussed the fact that regarding the law of mental manipulation there was in fact just one case in ten years and so the government is attempting at creating problems where they do not exist.

More specific, he refers to the 2006-2007 raids of Miviludes against normal, harmless communities of people practicing yoga, for example. Mr. Deval questiones this so-called European model, now adopted by countries like Iran or China and he also raises of question of an intergovernmental federation, like FECRIS being mostly founded by the French government. He also mentions the situation of Miviludes, already criticized by the UN, by the American Congress and the European Commission on the basis of its discriminative policies.

His ideas are based on a comprising study undergone by CAP, which are also appear in his very good book Etat de lieux, fully available on the following site:
