The government will draw up a new law that can specifically restrict the activities of religious cult Aum Shinrikyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiromu Nonaka said Wednesday.
The Justice Ministry will compile a bill to regulate a group that has committed indiscriminate mass murder in the past and whose basic demeanor remains unchanged, Nonaka said.
The ministry plans to submit the bill to the Diet during an extraordinary session that will start in October, he said.
