So, as チャノさん＠C103, 2日目、東ヒ48a (npub1k2u…gk9j) was suggesting may happen:
>Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Minister Masahito Moriyama on Friday asked the Tokyo District Court to issue an order to dissolve the Unification Church under the Religious Corporations Law.
Note: This isn't "outlawing the religion", but dissolving the corporate organization with the intent to remove their tax-exempt status.
The relevant part of the legal code is "Article 81 (Order of Dissolution)" of the Religious Corporations Act (https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/3898/je#je_ch9at6).
Per the J-gov, the causes the request was filed under were 81.1.i and 81.1.ii:
- (i)in violation of laws and regulations, the religious corporation commits an act which is clearly found to harm public welfare substantially;
- (ii)the religious corporation commits an act which deviates substantially from the purpose of a religious organization prescribed in the provisions of Article 2, or fails to carry out any act for such purpose for one year or more;
In terms of legal practice this is noteworthy for being the 3rd such request in history, and the first where the criminal code is not part of the picture:
- Aum Shinrikyo (1995) were disbanded for being a terrorist death cult
- Myokakuji (明覚寺) (1999) were disbanded for being Buddhist flavored Scientology ( https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9C%8A%E6%84%9F%E5%95%86%E6%B3%95#%E6%98%8E%E8%A6%9A%E5%AF%BA%EF%BC%88%E6%9C%AC%E8%A6%9A%E5%AF%BA%EF%BC%89%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%81%AB%E3%82%88%E3%82%8B%E3%80%8C%E9%9C%8A%E8%A6%96%E5%95%86%E6%B3%95%E3%80%8D)
This will be a multi-year shitshow, and is almost 100% guaranteed to make it to the supreme court (The Aum case speedran a supreme court ruling, Myokakuji's appeal was rejected after 3 years of court proceedings).
But, it appears that, violence does solve everything after all.
