Yesterday (Saturday) in the early hours of the morning, the black curtain of one of the most dangerous sects known to Guatemala was breached. The “Pure Lev” compound – a name that sounds like a prayer tune, but hid horrors that are hard to contain – has been exposed to the eyes of the law.
160 children (no, that’s not a mistake), aged three to 16, were rescued from there. 160 young souls who were imprisoned within the walls of the terror of the cult and grew up in the shadow of sexual and emotional terror that is hard to imagine. Beside them, 40 women who remain trapped in the vicious circle of the twisted “redemption”.
The raid revealed more than just an isolated cult. In the backyard, improvised graves were found, including human bones. One question resonates: how many of the children who disappeared did not survive? The police investigation is about to be unprecedented.
“Pure Heart” is not just a cult – it is an international survival machine. From Canada to Mexico, from Guatemala and back, whenever the law approaches, they flee. This time, the nets seem to be closing.
After the raid, investigations into the cult’s activities continue, including the investigation of the bodies found in makeshift graves. There is international monitoring, especially from Israel, which wants to verify the well-being of the Israeli children who were in the cult. It is important to note that this information is based on sources that have not yet been definitively verified.
There are alarming signs that the rescued children were in shock and, in some cases, showed aggressive behavior towards the officers. Reports indicate that the adults in the cult ordered them to resist the police and even beat them, which shows the depth of the cult’s psychological control. However, these are preliminary reports that have not yet been verified.
The children and boys found in the cult were transferred to the facilities of the Ministry of Welfare in Guatemala, where they receive psychological and medical treatment. There is close monitoring of their condition and rehabilitation, while building moves to promote their integration back into society in a healthy manner. The raid made headlines in the Guatemalan and international media. Children’s rights organizations and Jewish organizations are mobilizing to help care for the rescued children.
According to initial reports, some of the adults in the sect may be candidates for arrest or legal proceedings. This is if additional evidence of abuse or other crimes is found. The effort to disperse the sect members and prevent them from continuing their activities continues.
The local prosecution is already preparing the ground for filing charges. Human trafficking, rape, abuse of minors – these are just some of the expected charges. The Israeli embassy is updated, and the whole world is watching.
This is not just an affair. It is a story of rescue, of freedom and of restoring human dignity to those who were taken from them.
