"In Argentina, as scholar María Vardé documents in a study published in “The Journal of CESNUR,” anti-trafficking bureaucracies have adopted anti-cult categories such as “brainwashing” and “coercive persuasion” to prosecute evangelical churches and charities and spiritual movements like the Buenos Aires Yoga School. Vardé writes that such terminology is used in the judicial sphere, the media, and public campaigns, often fabricating “victims” who are in fact volunteers who have freely chosen to serve. Happily, the Argentinian judiciary has started resisting the ill-founded claims of some prosecutors."
