Regarding the preventive measures that have been applied to the cult Aleph, which changed its name from Aum Shinrikyo, to prevent indiscriminate mass murder, the Public Safety Review Committee has found that the required activity report has not been made. Therefore, we have decided to extend it for another six months.
The cult ``Aleph'', which changed its name from Aum Shinrikyo, is under observation based on the ``Group Regulation Act'' to prevent indiscriminate mass murder, and the Public Security Intelligence Agency, which is monitoring it, We are required to report on the status of our activities, including our bases, believers, and assets, every three months.
However, ``Aleph'' has not reported the land and buildings it owns or the businesses it operates, and has denied
the use of 13 of the approximately 20 cult facilities nationwide and
the donation to the cult for six months. Recurrence prevention measures have been applied.
After that, Aleph did not make the required report and was absent from last month's hearing, so the Public Safety Review Committee concluded that it was "difficult to grasp the extent of the danger" and the report has been suspended until this month. In addition to extending the measures to prevent recurrence for another six months, we have decided to increase the number of church facilities that are prohibited from being used to 16.
The Public Safety Review Commission released a statement saying, ``It is essential that these sanctions be effective, and we look forward to the efforts of the relevant organizations.''
