Japanese Prime Minister (PM) Fumio Kishida ordered an investigation on Monday into Unification Church, after the assassination of former premier Shinzo Abe in July revealed close ties between it and the ruling party lawmakers. READ
Support for Mr. Kishida’s government has tumbled to its lowest level since he took office on growing anger about the Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers not fully disclosing their ties to the church, known for its mass weddings.
Mr. Kishida instructed the culture minister to prepare an investigation into the church under the Religious Corporations Act. He said he had no personal relationship with the church, although early half of the LDP’s lawmakers have disclosed connections since Mr. Abe’s assassination. The party says there is no organizational link to the church.
