The Kumamoto Prefectural Association for the Protection of Fundamental Human Rights and Freedom of Religion – led by Chairman Isao Tonomi (主海偉佐雄) – held a panel exhibition 8th December 2024 in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The event shed light on the issue of abduction and confinement targeting members of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (formerly the Unification Church). The organization condemned forced de-conversions involving abduction as a violation of human rights and aimed to raise awareness among visitors, including local city council members and journalists.

A woman in her 60s, who listened to about an hour-long explanation at the exhibition, remarked,

“It’s heartbreaking. I hope this truth gets reported on television and other media.”

A city council member, who was invited by a friend to attend, expressed surprise, saying,

“I had no idea such actions were being taken to force members to leave. This is something that should never happen to human beings.”

Chairman Tonomi emphasized,

“Visitors to the panel exhibition often ask, ‘Is this really happening in Japan?’ Without these photos and panels, it’s difficult to grasp the reality of abduction and confinement. We need to spread this awareness nationwide.”
