TOKYO — Japan’s government is convening a religious affairs council on Thursday to ask experts to decide whether to seek a court order to revoke the legal status of the Unification Church. The church's fundraising tactics and cozy ties with the governing party have triggered public outrage.
Education Minister Masahito Moriyama told experts on the panel in his opening remarks that his ministry, if endorsed by the panel, hopes to file for a court approval to strip the church's legal status. Moriyama said his ministry has reached its conclusions after interviewing 170 victims of the church's alleged fundraising and other problems. The ministry held several hearings and said the church failed to respond to dozens of questions during them.
