1. Aum Shinrikyo

Aum Shinrikyo (オウムShinrikyo is a new religious group in Japan based on Buddhism and yoga, and it is also a representative cult group in Japan. He has carried out terrorist activities such as the Matsumoto sarin incident, the murder of lawyer Sakamoto and his family, and the sarin gas incident in the Tokyo subway. Founded in 1984, the head of the church is Shoko Asahara. In 1995, the organization had grown to more than 9,000 members in Japan and more than 40,000 worldwide. By 2004, the membership of the organization had grown to about 1,500 to 2,000.

Aum Shinrikyo (Japanseaumdoomsdaycult) is a Japanese cult organization founded in 1984 by Akira Asahara, formerly known as Tomotsuo Matsumoto. Asahara has a dark mentality, hatred of society, and hatred of humans. In just a few years after its founding, he recruited nearly 10,000 believers, established more than 30 branches and ashrams, and developed four branches overseas.

The general leader of this cult is called Shoko Asahara, whose original name was Tomotsuo Matsumoto. In 1987, Tomotsuo Matsumoto founded Aum Shinrikyo. Changed his name to Shoaki Asahara. It is said that the surname Asahara is taken from the Sanskrit word "maharaja", which means king of kings, and the pronunciation of "maharaja" is the same as that of the Japanese "aharaji".

The name Aum Shinrikyo also gives a sense of mystery. It is derived from a letter of Sanskrit. It is pronounced like "om" and is written as aum. When Hindus chant sutras, they often begin with this letter and chant with their eyes closed, showing their sacredness. Asahara used this letter to crown the name of the religion and drew it on the emblem of the religion, so that people who did not know the details were in awe.

Aum Shinrikyo has a tightly knit organization within it. It is set up in a similar way to a Japanese government agency. Asaha himself is the "Holy Emperor" and has jurisdiction over 21 provincial departments and other institutions. They are the Imperial Secretariat, the Imperial Cabinet Office, the Eastern Believers Agency, the Western Believers Agency, the Ministry of Espionage, the Autonomous Province, the Defense Agency, the Construction Agency, the Treatment Agency, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Posts, Health, Welfare, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Vehicles, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Distribution Surveillance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Each institution has a governor, such as Tomoko Matsumoto, the wife of Asahara, who is the governor of the Ministry of Posts. Asahara's eldest daughter is the governor of the province of circulation surveillance, and the third daughter is the chief cabinet secretary of the Emperor. The governor of the province is Hisako Ishii, who is also Asahara's personal female secretary and is in charge of hundreds of billions of yen in assets of Aum Shinrikyo. In the Aum Shinrikyo Provincial Offices. The Ministry of Science and Technology has the largest number of subordinate personnel. There are a total of 263 members, the main members of which are top students studying physics and electronic engineering. The governor of the province is Hideo Murai.

(1) Grades, titles, and categories

Aum Shinrikyo members have strict hierarchical titles, with the following ranks: Master → Masahara Master→ Master Jeongwu, → Master. Master → Master → Sha Chang → Shamen → a lay believer. The church also implements a religious name system, and only those who can be called Asahara high disciples have religious names. For example, the Minister of Posts and Posts, Tomoko Matsumoto's Christian name is "Yasodara", which means "Buddha's wife"; The Minister of Espionage, Inoue Yoshihiro, is known as "Anand", which means "disciple of the Buddha". This hierarchical system and religious name system facilitated Asahara's strict control over believers.

After the birth of Aum Shinrikyo, it developed rapidly in Japan. At its peak, there were more than 10,000 believers. There are many branches in Japan. Among the believers are both ordinary workers and business owners; There are both unemployed citizens and intellectuals; There are both police officers and Self-Defense Forces soldiers. Believers are roughly divided into two categories: those who practice while living a normal life in the real world, and those who abandon their family and society and enter the order to practice.

(2) Strict canons

Aum Shinrikyo requires absolute obedience to Asahara from believers, and the canons are very strict with believers.

(3) Legislation

On the afternoon of 18 August 1999, the House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet passed two bills in favor of cracking down on the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo, namely, the "Bill on Groups That Have Caused Indiscriminate Mass Killings in the Past" (referred to as the "Group Restriction Act") and the "Victim Relief Act." The two bills passed the Senate on December 3 and went into force on December 27.

Through the implementation of this bill, the Japanese government aims to clarify the actual situation of Aum Shinrikyo and restrict its activities. The bill makes it clear that it will increase surveillance of groups that "have wantonly committed mass murders." The main contents of the bill are: the relevant groups are observed during a three-year period, the groups are required to report every three months, and the facilities of the groups are inspected; When the danger of the group increases or hinders the inspection, the use of the group's facilities will be confiscated or prohibited, donations to it will be prohibited, and activities of its backbone will be prohibited. The bill also prohibits restricted subjects from acquiring or using venues and facilities related to the propagation of cults, and prohibits restricted groups from soliciting people to join cult organizations. In this way, Aum Shinrikyo became the object of the law's restrictions.

On December 1, Aum Shinrikyo representative Tatsuko Muraoka issued a statement saying, "We have come to the conclusion that we cannot deny that there were indeed some followers involved in these incidents at that time." This includes the poisoning of the Tokyo subway on March 20, 1995. Ritsuko Muraoka said, "I sincerely apologize to the victims and their families. "Aum Shinrikyo is trying to reduce social pressure with such a statement, thereby preventing the Japanese Senate from passing a bill restricting the religion.

On December 2, 1999, Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi told reporters, "In any case, the sect is regarded by law as the main culprit responsible for the sarin incident, a religious organization that indiscriminately kills innocent people." The "purpose of the legislation" is to stop the cult from committing deadly crimes such as the sarin attacks. He said that the government will do everything in its power to ensure the safety of citizens and the protection of industries from cults.

On 3 July, the plenary session of the House of Councillors of the Japanese Diet passed by a majority in favor of passing two bills aimed at cracking down on the illegal activities of Aum Shinrikyo. This is a powerful measure taken by Japan to stop the spread of this cult. Cult forces are a cancer in society, and if they are not cut off in a timely manner, they will inevitably harm the health of society. Japanese Minister of Justice Hizuo Usui said at a meeting with reporters on the same day that the director of the Public Security Investigation Bureau will request the Public Security Review Commission to implement the two laws against Aum Shinrikyo within the year.

(4) Penalties

The Tokyo District Court, where Akira Asahara was sentenced, is holding a public trial of three key Aum Shinrikyo elements who poisoned the Tokyo subway. On the afternoon of 7 December, the prosecutor's authorities demanded that the two defendants, Hiroshi Toyoda and Hirose, who had poisoned sarin, be sentenced to death and that Shigero Sugimoto, who was in charge of driving the car at the time, be sentenced to life imprisonment. The trial will conclude on March 2, 2000, after the last defence by counsel.

Naoko Kikuchi, a female Aum Shinrikyo leader, was finally arrested on the night of June 3, 2012, after absconding for 17 years.

Katsu Takahashi, the only fugitive suspect in the Aum Shinrikyo case, also came to light in June 2012 when Japanese police said he had worked for a construction company in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
