Japan Court Orders Dissolution of Unification Church

Tokyo District Court Dissolves Unification Church

On March 25, 2025, the Tokyo District Court ordered the dissolution of the Unification Church in Japan following allegations of manipulative fundraising and recruitment practices. This decision came after an investigation spurred by the 2022 assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which revealed the church's ties with Japan's Liberal Democratic Party. The dissolution will strip the church of its tax-exempt status and require it to liquidate its assets. The church plans to appeal the decision, criticizing it as a threat to religious freedom. Founded in South Korea in 1954 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the Unification Church has faced accusations in the past of using deceptive tactics to obtain large donations from followers.
