Very true, but obviously not for certain part of Japanese elites.

[Sam Brownback @SamuelBrownback]

At their core, free societies must maintain religious freedom. It is the human right of the Soul. When the government  dissolves a legitimate church, this cornerstone right is irreparably harmed.

国連人権委員会で、日本の統一教会2世信者が
集会・結社の自由を強く訴えました。

「集会及び結社の自由」が日本政府の対応により侵害されているとして、国際社会による関心を必要としています。

メディアが教団を犯罪組織かのように報道することで、国内では信者や家族が偏見と孤立に苦しめられ、特に子どもたちへの影響が深刻です。

「教会は私の人生そのもの。夫と出会い、子を育て、共同体を得た場所でした。しかし解散命令後、突然すべての教会を失いました」

この証言は、信仰の自由が国家権力によって奪われる現実を浮き彫りにしています。

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag Yes, the property created by their own donations was taken from them.

French lawyer on dissolution of Family Federation in Japan https://t.co/hjR1Gh5mKY

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag In civilized countries, this is how it is handled (I'm sure it's the same in Japan): 1. A lawsuit is filed for payment. 2. The court can impose an obligation to pay. 3. The obligor pays it, and if not, the bailiff seizes his property and sells it. Note: The debtor is not canceled

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag Read my messages, you may find it. Remember: Human justice must be individual, not collective. In this way another injustice is being created. But that doesn't bother you, right? Those remained members should be punished for not leaving Family Federation, shouldn't they?

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag No, it wasn't the only way, and you know it. Later you send me statistics on what part went to the alleged victims, what to the liquidators, and what part will never go to the members who collected the Federation's assets from their donations. Those will be interesting numbers.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag Obstacles:-) Nice description, but you are avoiding my question. If the goal was to return the donations to the donors, the decision to dissolve is the worst way. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The principle of proportionality apparently means nothing to Japanese court

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag If the purpose of dissolving Family Federation was to return the donated property to the donors, the court could impose such an obligation. However, as a result of the dissolution, the people who remained members (assuming unlike you) will receive nothing. Is that justice?

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag Violations of the law, such as the forced donation you want to illustrate with the attached video, are resolved in a civil dispute before a court, not by dissolving the entire organization (moreover, almost 30 years later). This violates the rights of all members.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@kujaku_master @BitterWinterMag Dear Kujako Master, perhaps you should first define "public welfare" and "tremendous harms on people". In every organization, disputes arise. The way to resolve them is not the destruction of the entire organization. Because then it is possible to abolish any unpopular group.

Common sense says that America cannot afford to let South Korea fall into the China's embrace. However, the dismantling of South Korea's freedom is still ongoing. So what will America do?

[The Monarch Report @monarchreport25]

South Korea is sliding into Beijing's orbit.
If it tips, the entire Pacific security map changes.

Canadian political commentator William Barclay @WillBarclayPCBG just gave his first Korean media interview, and the picture he paints is not the one US news outlets are selling.

The sitting South Korean president, Lee Jae-myung, ordered an illegal search and seizure at Osan US Air Base. A US installation. On allied soil.

He has publicly aligned with Iran. Publicly aligned with Beijing.

Barclay calls him "Little Lee" and argues the Chinese Communist Party has clear infiltration routes into his government.

Conservative Koreans are being treated, in Barclay's words, as "an enemy to be eradicated."

Free speech and political association are eroding in real time.
And Korean mainstream media, now firmly inside the Lee administration's grip, will not report any of it.

Trump himself said, on the record, that what is unfolding in South Korea looks like a purge. Like a revolution.
He is not the kind of president who walks those words back.

The nomination of former Congresswoman Michelle Park Steele as Ambassador, announced the moment the Iran operation concluded, was no coincidence.

Barclay reads it as a signal: Washington will not let Seoul slide into Beijing's orbit through the ballot box.

In America, fake news is manufactured to bring a president down. In South Korea, the president brands truth as fake news and uses state power to silence it.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

Of course, this threatens all associations. Once you open the door to the devil, he will take not just the one you don't like, but everyone. Is it so hard for the Japanese government and courts to see this?

[The Monarch Report @monarchreport25]

A Ryukoku University law professor warns Japan's Supreme Court that the Family Federation dissolution threatens every association in the country, not just one religious group.

Constitutional law professor Manabu Ishizaki @ishizakinyaoon of Ryukoku University filed a 29-page opinion with the Supreme Court.

He argues the Family Federation (formerly Unification Church) dissolution order strips believers of religious freedom and freedom of association.

The Ministry of Education's October 2025 liquidation guidelines promised religious freedom would be preserved.
Members have since been barred from their churches.

【Dissolution Restricts the "Right to Acquire Corporate Status"】

- Grounded in freedom of association (Art. 21-1) and religious freedom (Art. 20-1)

- Ishizaki frames it as tripartite: state, intermediate bodies (religious groups, NPOs, civic groups), and individuals

- Denying the right would collapse that structure and damage civil society

- The 1995 Aum Shinrikyo case assumed groups could survive without corporate status. In reality, revocation blocked facility ownership and outside transactions

【Illegality Cannot Be Established Through Speculation】

- The Family Federation has committed no criminal offense

- The Tokyo High Court treated the possibility the group "could" harm public welfare as "clear" danger

- The court acknowledged damages from alleged improper donations after the 2009 Compliance Declaration were "not necessarily clear"

- Ishizaki calls it a constitutional misinterpretation and a precedent that could extend to NPOs and civic groups

【Closed-Door Proceedings Violate the Constitution】

- The case is handled as "non-contentious," closed to the public

- Ishizaki argues it should be treated as litigation by nature

- The closed format violates Art. 82-1, which requires public trials

If the appeal succeeds, constitutional protection of corporate status would extend across Japanese civil society, not only religious groups.

@ffwpueume @UnificNews The Japanese government doesn't think so.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@GaborVasmatics @monarchreport25 @ujelenav I wouldn't bet on it.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@mihoko_ueki @monarchreport25 It must not happen.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@monarchreport25 Well, looks like in the Korean criminal proceedings, it is not the doctor who decides whether a prisoner will be allowed to receive treatment and how long the treatment will last, but the judge who knows nothing about medicine. Is this even possible? Welcome to South Korea!

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@LauraLea1955 @monarchreport25 Amnesty International seems not to care for prisoners of this kind. In their eyes only the "correct" victims deserve to be defended. Considering that, according to left-wing 'liberal' activists, religion is the opium of humanity, there is no need to defend religious leaders.

[Martin Slezák @mslezak2013]

@monarchreport25 If the law passed with a 170-3 vote it wasn't just due to Democratic Party’s supermajority. I can't understand why the opposition doesn't fight against such laws much more intensely. The PPP is behaving more like a collaborator in a coup d'état!

JAPAN SCANDAL
It involves inciting fear in the parents of believers to justify abduction and forced confinement, creating a coercive mechanism designed to break a believer's faith—which challenges the very foundations of religious freedom under the guise of protection.
