It had emerged that Shinzo Abe’s alleged killer was motivated by resentment against the church.
TOKYO: The Japanese government asked a court on Friday to strip official recognition from the Unification Church, the influential sect that has come under the microscope since the assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe.
“The education minister requested a dissolution order” at the Tokyo district court, government spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters, adding the government would now “fully prepare” for any trials. The church has been accused of pressuring its followers into making hefty donations and its members have been blamed for child neglect.
The case against the Unification Church is expected to be a lengthy one, with the church thought likely to fight back through the court system.
