Santo Daime's European human rights complaint dismissed, reinforcing the Dutch criminalization of ayahuasca and restricting religious freedom claims

The European Court of Human Rights declared inadmissible Santo Daime's complaint concerning Article 9 religious freedom rights, according to the supplied account and cited case reference ECHR September 24, 2020, no. 15226/20. The author presents the decision as reinforcing Dutch authorities' criminalization of ayahuasca and the October 1, 2019 Supreme Court ban, while arguing that religious freedom may be limited by the state for public safety. The piece is primarily a personal and spiritual interpretation rather than neutral legal reporting: it links the ruling to a long-running dispute with Santo Daime, claims the organization interfered with the author's free will and legal affairs, and describes alleged spiritual mechanisms such as karma, "rope magic," astral conflict, and divine intervention. It also asserts broader European criminalization and organizational collapse, but those claims are not independently substantiated within the supplied material. The author states that ayahuasca is not used at their center.
