In a country that is supposed to be progressive, why fairy laws still exist …
In England, the 1951 fraudulent media law was canceled and replaced Consumer protection from unfair trading regulations 2008. This has witnessed a shift from an old law into a law that treats people who visit media like any other consumer. If you are fraudulent by a person who claims to be a plumber, a gas or psychological tried, these regulations are present to protect you.
In Canada, things seem to be somewhat old on this front. This week, I am useful A Canadian citizen claiming to be myself was arrested After the investigation because of its deceptive practices. Through this, I learned that Canadian citizens can be accused of pretending to practice magic.
Criminal Law in Canada, Section 365

… Why does my atheist friends not anger instead of enjoying?
People accused of magic is the issue of human rights. As a human being, I am disappointed by any of my friends who shared the story from Canada in entertainment. I understand why. Many skeptics look at intermediaries and love laughter when psyche is caught for deception. However, many people on social media tables have not been able to stop for a minute and examine the largest image here is worrying.
Some children were retreated with sticks and iron and had bruises all over the body. Others had poured gasoline on them and were encouraged to strive to expel the spirit of magic.
Magic persecution is not a matter of laughter
Magic Information and Human Rights Network (Whrin) Maintaining accident records, globally, from insulting people suspected of magic. Or by people who believe in magic. This includes violence, persecution and even killing. As WHRIN indicates themselves, these documented cases are likely to be a small part of what already happens.
Report 2017The Whrin took to the United Nations, stipulating that a total of 398 reports were documented from 49 countries. This was an increase from 282 and 41 respectively in 2013.
The WHRIN report includes the following collapse:
- The African continent had the largest number of reported incidents, including 67 in Nigeria and 29 in Zimbabwe.
- In Asia, 120 cases have been recorded, which is almost 100 % increase since the previous 2013 report. Thirty -five of these cases were human sacrifice, usually children.
- In Europe: 3 cases were recorded in England, 2 in France. However, Whrin warns that “as with other cases, we know that this represents a limited image of the real challenge scale in each of these countries. For example, WHRIN alone supported 4 cases of children accused of magic in the UK in 2016 and Metropolitan police recorded many cases.
- In America, there were 11 cases of registered violations, which were linked to a wide range of beliefs, from voodoo power to pagan magic and “demonic panic”.
The self -declared psyche that is accused of fake magic is not very funny when you look at it in the context of persecution based on modern magic, right?
The solution to the negatives of myths is not a fairy justice …
The legislation that talks about magic is outdated. For this reason in 2008, the UK updated the 1951 fraudulent media law in 2008, which itself was a modernization of the Law of Magic 1735. This law was the basis for the South African magic law that is still being used today.
Campaign before The national secular community and Humanists in the United Kingdom Focusing on factors contributing to destroying fairy beliefs. This includes religious schools, collective worship, blasphemy laws, and the development that is taught in schools, human rights issues, secular legal systems and more.
A person who claims to be a wealth, charming, or psychological ATM must be provided using deceptive techniques while providing their services to the task. Just like a merchant pretending to be Registered It must be presented to the task. There must be appropriate legislation to charge them in exchange for fraud or unfair commercial practices that do not enhance the fairy ideology. In the UK, we have the 2008 regulations and this is good news.
However, many skeptics do not even know that the media is no longer forced to provide “entertainment” evacuation at the beginning of their shows. Not to mention the details of the laws that are covered through such a stage.
This ignorance must change any progress against superstitious persecution. Be angry at fraud and narrators, if you have to. However, if you really care about people who are harmful to these practices, you must do something more with this anger to help transform positions away from this superstitious thinking.
It is not considered a “victory” when a person is charged with a person under magic legislation, regardless of whether it is fraudulent psychological.
