Abstract

The laws governing the confrontation with deviant sects must have the necessary comprehensiveness and deterrent power to close the path for the establishment and promotion of such sects. The Recurrent Article 500 of the Islamic Penal Code (approved on January 13، 2021) aims to fill the legal gaps in this regard and has been able to address this issue to a significant extent. Since a precise understanding by the relevant authorities and institutions of the deviant sects is considered a prerequisite for the proper understanding and interpretation of this article and its related provisions، this paper provides a cognitive analysis of deviant sects، offering the necessary foundation for interpreting this article. It examines the nature of sects and their operations in society as the main question of the study، analyzing its application within the context of the mentioned article. In this context، elements such as precise definitions of terms، an introduction to active sects in Iran، harm analysis، and the introduction of mind control methods within sects have been studied. The research method is descriptive-analytical، and in addition to introducing the dimensions of sects، it also analyzes their ideologies
