A cell of the totalitarian sect 'Allya Ayat' was liquidated in Altai
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Security forces liquidated a cell of the Allya Ayat sect (an extremist religious movement banned in Russia) in Altai, where they treated pensioners and the sick with “special tea” and magazines. Special forces operatives closed down the headquarters of an organization banned in Russia just at the moment when adherents were performing their rituals, the material says. One of them is drinking a “magic drink”, which actually turned out to be ordinary milk tea. He is supposed to drive away all diseases, REN TV reports. Over the 25 years of the sect’s existence in the country, dozens of its followers died because they believed in it and not in real doctors. In addition, people took out loans on themselves to pay for such treatment, the information notes. Also, the ideology of the cult obliged them to throw away icons and destroy the Bible. Instead, adherents were offered treatment with magazines - as if the periodicals of the movement were endowed with the power of Farhat (the organizer of the sect. - Ed.). “This magazine was prescribed to be applied to the sore spot. Moreover, there were a number of conditions. A magazine purchased from a certain person could affect a specific person. The more recent the magazine, the more effective it was,” explained cult expert Vadim Schiller. According to media reports, the family of the founder of the sect, Farhat Abdullayev, who formerly worked as a rural driver, became rich, and his children were able to get an education abroad. In a number of regions of Russia, “Allya Ayat” was banned and it became impossible to openly recruit followers, but despite this, hundreds of supporters continue to hold secret meetings and still hope for a miracle. The followers have gone into the shadows - they keep secrets and carefully check each of the potential adherents, the authors of the story specify. “They don’t openly recruit into their sect. The sect itself positions itself as a healing one, indicating that, they say, we were banned because doctors don’t want you to be healed. They say: “You don’t need to swallow pills. We have a certain formula. You will be healed of all diseases,” commented forensic religious expert, specialist in the field of non-traditional religious cults and extremist communities Igor Ivanishko. As Regnum reported, the “Family of the Soul” (La Familia del Alma) sect was liquidated in Spain, from whose actions more than a hundred people suffered. The Civil Guard detained three of its leaders in the village of Puebla Tornes. They are suspected of involvement in a number of crimes: interference with labor activity, crimes against public health, sexual aggression, disclosure of secrets and others.
