From The New York Times:
A bill approved by the country’s Senate in March would impose prison terms of up to seven years and thousands of dollars in fines on people who provide a vaguely defined set of supernatural services.
Spiritual practitioners worry that a range of esoteric practices will be targeted in this deeply religious and culturally conservative country. They point to the inherent difficulty and danger in policing belief, and say that the legislation risks conflating spirituality and superstition with con artistry and criminality. Supporters say the legislation is needed to combat fraud. The bill speaks in moralistic terms about protecting families from “sorcery” and “ignorant malpractices” carried out in the name of spiritual healing.
