Bosnian authorities are cracking down on the dozens of members of the extremist Jewish group, after local residents reported their presence.
Thirty-seven of the group’s estimated 200-300 loyalists are believed to have relocated to Bosnia in November. They were reportedly living there legally on three-month visas which are about to expire. Local residents apparently discovered the group after seeing pictures in media reports of the cult members traveling through the Middle East.
Human Rights and Refugees Minister Milos Lucic announced on Tuesday that the entire group will be deported before the end of the month.
He said, “According to the latest information, this religious group is currently looking for a new destination and transportation. I have received assurances that they do not pose a threat to the local community and no incidents have been recorded so far.”
Since fleeing Guatemala, the group of radicals has been searching for a new homeland. At one point they requested asylum in Iran, but that plan was crushed when Iraqi authorities deported them to Turkey.
They relocated to Guatemala from Canada in 2014 following allegations of mistreatment of its children including abuse and child marriages.
Arranged marriages between teenagers and older cult members are reported to be common. The group shuns technology and its female members wear black robes from head to toe, leaving only their faces exposed.
So sad for the people ” born into” this movement and think it is Judaism
The article failed to mention cruel physical beatings and removing children from parents.
Unfortunately, the cult members are running out of countries. Who pays for their travel when they go from country to country?
Deported to where?
To which country can they be deported if Guatemala does not want them back. Are some US, Canadian, Israeli citizens. Are some stateless?
I’ve seen the photos of the men with hoods. Does anyone know why they wear hoods and if they take them off while wearing tefillin?
Those poor kids being shleped around from one place to another, constantly on the move. Oy vey. So sad. That in and of itself is child abuse.
Who’s financially supporting them? These people don’t have jobs. Someone is. Would be nice to know who that is, that is funding this evil, abuse of children. Those funders are just as bad.
It is said that the female members of the cult wear only head-to-toe outer clothes.
so sad, religiously per verted poople should have a place where they can mess about with their religion with out be tossed out.
I think Iran or Afghanistan might be accepting for them.
Honorable Milos Lucic:
If they pose no threat to the locals, why would you deport them?…
Kiryas yoel awaits their franchise
I guess the only place to take them will be Israel. Melech Ha’moshiach Hertzl set it up that ALL Jews have a right to the land. One day we will all realize his wisdom
