Cult Awareness Network (original) (raw)
The Cult Awareness Network (CAN) was an anti-cult organization created by deprogrammer Ted Patrick that provided information on groups that it considered to be cults, as well as support and referrals to deprogrammers.It was founded in the wake of the November 18, 1978, deaths of members of the Peoples Temple and assassination of Congressman Leo J. Ryan in Jonestown, Guyana. The "Old CAN" was shut down in 1996. Its name and assets were later bought by a group of private donors (some of whom were members of the Church of Scientology, an American cult) in bankruptcy proceedings; with the transfer of ownership, the organization was renamed the New Cult Awareness Network.

(en) Cult Awareness Network (CAN, Réseau de vigilance sur les sectes) était une association antisectes américaine fondée le 18 novembre 1978, au moment de l'affaire du Temple du Peuple. Cette association a été reprise en 1996 sous la même dénomination, à la suite de sa mise en liquidation judiciaire, par une organisation affiliée à la Scientologie, à l'égard de laquelle le CAN était très critique. Avant ce changement de propriétaire, le CAN (ancien CAN) fournissait des informations sur les groupes qu'il considérait être des sectes, ainsi que des sessions très controversées de deprogramming pour leurs adhérents. Le CAN actuel (nouveau CAN) est présenté par ses membres comme un organisme d'information sur les nouveaux mouvements religieux alors que ses détracteurs le présentent comme une association d'apologistes des sectes au service de la Scientologie. (fr) Il Cult Awareness Network (CAN) è un'organizzazione nata all'indomani del 18 novembre 1978 quando trovarono la morte i componenti del gruppo del Tempio del popolo, ed il membro del Congresso degli Stati Uniti d'America Leo Ryan fu ucciso a Jonestown in Guyana. In riferimento alla storia del Cult Awareness Network si distingue tra Old CAN (vecchio CAN) e New CAN (nuovo CAN) dove per New CAN si intende il CAN attuale che è proprietà di Scientology, organizzazione che fu fortemente osteggiata dal vecchio CAN . Prima che se ne impossessasse Scientology il Can forniva informazioni sui gruppi che considerava delle sette offrendo anche consulenza su come uscire da questi gruppi e sulla . Dal 1978 al 1996, prima di essere acquistato da associati a Scientology in una causa per bancarotta, il CAN era stato fortemente critico nei confronti di Scientology, la Landmark Education e altri gruppi che il CAN considerava potenzialmente pericolosi. Alcuni di questi gruppi erano descritti come sette distruttive. Sia Scientology che la Landmark Education promossero una serie di azioni legali contro l'organizzazione. In seguito a queste azioni legali il CAN fu giudicato colpevole di avere violato i diritti civili e la libertà di religione del pentacostale Jason Scott che fu rapito e sottoposto a un procedimento, fallito, di deprogrammazione da Rick Ross, referente del CAN. In seguito al giudizio e alla condanna al pagamento di un milione di dollari il CAN fallì e fu acquistato da Scientology. (it) Cult Awareness Network (CAN) är en amerikansk organisation som ursprungligen grundades 1978 med syftet att observera och informera om destruktiva sekter, samt att hjälpa anhöriga till människor som involverats i sekter och förmedla kontakt mellan familjer och så kallade . På 1990-talet drevs CAN i konkurs och köptes senare upp av scientologer som nu driver organisationen. 1995 dömdes CAN, sektexperten Rick Ross och två andra personer för konspiration till brott mot religionsfriheten efter att Jason Scott, en medlem av Life Tabernacle Church, hade kidnappats för att avprogrammeras. Scotts advokater bekostades av Scientologikyrkan som hade gjort ytterligare runt 50 anmälningar mot CAN. CAN fick betala miljonbelopp i skadestånd och drevs i konkurs, varpå organisationen och dess egendomar såldes på auktion till en scientolog (Steven Hayes) för $20.000. Efter konkurs övertogs organisationens namn och tillgångar av Scientologikyrkan. Scientologikyrkan är en av de organisationer som CAN varnade för och som genom ett flertal stämningar med höga rättegångskostnader och skadestånd som följd lyckades driva CAN i konkurs. För att skilja på de diametralt motsatta organisationerna med samma namn, före och efter Scientlologikyrkans förvärv, brukar man i USA tala om Old CAN och New CAN. Numera kan man i USA få information om tveksamma organisationer och sekter från till exempel (ICSA). (sv) «Cult Awareness Network» («Сеть оповещения о культах», КАН, CAN) — американская антикультовая организация, основанная Теодором Патриком в 1978 году в США. Специализировалась на так называемом «депрограммировании» людей, вовлечённых в новые религиозные движения, которые рассматривались как деструктивные культы. В середине 1990-х годов пятидесятник Джейсон Скотт при участии адвоката-саентолога Кендрика Моксона подал иск против депрограмматора Рика Росса, двух его помощников и CAN. По решению суда организация «Сеть осведомления о культах» должна была выплатить сумму в 1 миллион долларов США, но не смогла. 20 июня 1996 года по решению Федерального суда Чикаго CAN была объявлена банкротом. После банкротства, CAN была приобретена Церковью саентологии и превращена в New Cult Awareness Network, после чего направление деятельности организации изменилось на прямо противоположное.. (ru) |
