A personal computer shop run by two human rights activists and staffed by eight followers of Aum Shinrikyo opened for business Saturday in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, one week after the scheduled opening.
The outlet was initially scheduled to start business on June 17, but a request from the building's landlord and real estate company to retract the firm's contract delayed the opening.
The landlord had demanded the shop cancel the contract claiming they were not informed that Aum followers would be working there. Local residents have also joined talks between the shop and proprietors.
