High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2001 About-Picard law, a piece of French legislation, broadly speaking, makes it possible to act against organisations (legal entities) when such organisations have become involved in certain crimes. The law, in its own words, aimed at movements deemed cultic (mouvements sectaires) that "undermine human rights and fundamental freedoms". The law does not define new crimes, except in association with existing crimes. It never mentions religion. This law has caused controversy internationally, with some commentators alleging that it infringes religious freedom. Proponents of the law allege, on the contrary, that it reinforces religious freedom, since it aims at protecting people in a weak position (including children), preventing criminal organizations from forcing such people into religious and other activities. As of 2005, the French authorities had applied the law only once in the case of a doomsday cult leader who had induced his followers to commit suicide.
