本日2025年11月7日午前、私が原告となり、福田ますみ氏の「月刊Hanada」の記事等について、同氏と同誌編集長の花田紀凱氏、株式会社飛鳥新社、同社の歴代の代表取締役大山邦興氏、土井尚久氏、土井和美氏3名を被告として約1200万円の損害賠償を求め名誉毀損訴訟の提起しました。
福田氏は、統一教会側のイベントに多数出席し、各種メディアにおいても、組織としての統一教会を、一方的に擁護する主張を展開するとともに、それだけでなく、統一教会側の主張に沿う形で、適切、相当、必要な取材もせずに、統一教会の被害者、統一教会問題に取り組む弁護士、ジャーナリスト、元信者等に対する誹謗中傷を繰り返しています。
**************
私は、これまで、統一教会が引き起こした目の前の被害者を救済することこそがより重要だと考え、救済活動に、自らの時間を誠実に使うことに注力してきました。
しかしながら、統一教会の社会問題性が明らかになり、東京地裁における統一教会に対する解散命令決定、韓国においては統一教会の韓鶴子総裁の逮捕起訴が行われ、刑事公判が続いているという状況の中で、統一教会が、その潤沢な資金を使い、日本各地で、キャンペーンを展開し、被告らを利用し、被告らの虚偽の言動によって、それがエコーチェンバーのごとく増幅され、虚偽の情報まで拡散され続けている状態は、かえって統一教会の被害者が声を上げて救済を求める機会を失わせかねないことを憂慮し、やむなく、本訴提起に至った次第です。
今後の追加提訴も検討しています。引き続き、ご支援をいただければ幸いです。
Today, on the morning of November 7, 2025, I filed a defamation lawsuit
as a plaintiff against Masumi Fukuda, the editor-in-chief of the magazine,
Kazuyoshi Hanada, Asuka Shinsha Co., Ltd., and three of the company's successive
representative directors, Kunioki Oyama, Naohisa Doi, and Kazumi Doi, seeking
damages of approximately 12 million yen.
Ms. Fukuda has attended many events on the Unification Church side, and
has unilaterally defended the Unification Church as an organization in
various media, and has repeatedly slandered the victims of the Unification
Church, lawyers, journalists, former believers, etc. who are working on
the Unification Church issue in a way that is in line with the Unification
Church's claims, without conducting appropriate, reasonable, or necessary
research.
**************
I have always believed that it is more important to relieve the immediate
victims caused by the Unification Church, and I have focused on sincerely
using my time for relief activities.
However, in a situation where the social problems of the Unification Church
have become clear, the Tokyo District Court has decided to order the dissolution
of the Unification Church, and in South Korea, the Unification Church president
Hak Ja Han has been arrested and indicted, and criminal trials are continuing,
the Unification Church has used its abundant funds to develop campaigns
in all over Japan, using the defendants, and using the defendants' false
words and actions, and so the Unification Church is amplifying them like
an echo chamber and continueing to spread false information is feared that
the victims of the Unification Church may lose the opportunity to speak
out and seek relief, so that I had no choice but to file this lawsuit.
I am also considering filing additional lawsuits in the future. I would appreciate your continued support. |
