by the foreign news department of Sekai Nippo

On 16^th July, a protest was held in front of the Japanese Embassy in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, against the Japanese government’s request for a court order to dissolve the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.

Members of the Family Federation in Mexico City marched with slogans such as “Protect Freedom of Religion and Human Rights in Japan”. They emphasized freedom of religion as a fundamental human right and called for support for Family Federation members in Japan, as well as demanding that the Japanese government withdraw its request for a dissolution order against the Family Federation.

Fernandez, the president of the Mexican Family Federation, stated, “We were born in freedom. We have the right to choose what to believe in. Deciding on religion and beliefs in life is completely free. That is why we demand the right to freedom of religion in Japan.” He also mentioned, “We have issued a statement. Many people are interested in our actions here,” and called for the voices of the protest participants to be taken seriously.

Protests were also held at the national park in the city of Puebla de Zaragoza on 7^th July. From now on, more protests will be held in other cities across Mexico.
