The Public Security Examination Commission has decided to extend restrictions on the activities of Aleph, a successor group of the now-defunct Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult, for another six months.
The decision, made Wednesday, marks the sixth time the recurrence prevention measure is imposed on the group. The extension keeps the restrictions in place until March 20, 2026.
Explaining the reason for the extension, the government commission said that the group failed to make sufficient reports as required under the law to control organizations that have committed acts of indiscriminate mass murder.
