Summary: | The article, published in the Japanese magazine Hanada by an award-winning journalist who has a degree in Sociology (Fukuda 2023), details the politically motivated actions carried out since 1987 by the National Network of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales to destroy the Unification Church, now called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, up to the pressure exerted on the government after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to persuade it to seek the liquidation of the Family Federation as a religious organization. The article evidences the fraudulent nature of the strategies used by the National Network, which include the fabrication of evidence and the alteration of documents. The parts between square brackets are explanatory and do not belong to Fukuda's original article. |
