"7,000+ Rally Against Religious Corporation Dissolution Bill as Concerns Over 'Religious Freedom Violations' Spread"
7,000 Protestant clergy and believers gathered outside the National Assembly on April 1.
They came to demand withdrawal of a civil law amendment that would allow the government to dissolve religious organizations and seize their assets.
The bill was framed as targeting groups like the Unification Church and Shincheonji.
Mainstream Protestant leaders rejected that framing.
The rally's closing statement made the case directly:
"It is packaged as a Unification Church and Shincheonji prevention law. In practice, it could apply to all religious organizations."
The specific provisions drawing alarm:
・ Warrantless investigations and oversight of religious bodies
・ Mandatory government seizure of assets upon dissolution
・ Vague, undefined criteria for determining "political interference"
Pastor Kim Un-seong of Youngnak Church called it "a dangerous starting point that could eventually cover all of society."
Pastor Lee Tae-hee pointed to China: "China started with institutional management and developed into a structure that restricts even doctrine and sermons. This law could become the starting line for that kind of control."
Pastor Son Hyun-bo framed it as a constitutional violation: "The principle of separation of church and state means the state must not interfere in religion. This bill reverses that."
PPP lawmaker Cho Bae-suk attended the rally and stated the bill "poses a significant risk of infringing on religious freedom and property rights."
Organizers are calling on Catholic and Buddhist communities to join the opposition.
Protests will continue until the bill is withdrawn.
The bill targets religious groups the government dislikes.
Its critics say it will not stop there.
