South Korean Leftists Introduce Legislation to Dissolve Churches on Political Grounds
From our trusted source in South Korea
While the world slept, a free South Korea is being torn apart by pro-China leftists.
In their latest move to steal individual rights from the people, the pro-China South Korean leftists are proposing an amendment that will give government the power to investigate, suspend, or dissolve non profit religious bodies, including churches, do not agree with.
This comes after the far left government started raiding ‘opposition’ churches last year.
Now a group of lawmakers has introduced what is effectively a church dissolution law, giving the government broad authority to shut down religious organizations on political grounds.
The bill was introduced by Rep Choi Hyuk jin, joined by Democratic Party lawmakers Kim Woo young, Kim Jun hyuk, Kwon Chil seung, Yum Tae young, Lee Geon tae, Lee Sung yoon, Song Jae bong, Seo Mi hwa, and others. Eleven lawmakers in total are pushing this measure.
The proposed amendment to the Civil Act allows the government to investigate, suspend, or dissolve non profit religious bodies by expanding the definition of public interest violations. It also enables asset seizure and indefinite administrative control.
The most alarming part is that the bill’s own explanation cites recent cases where specific religious groups supported political activities. This language directly points to conservative and opposition aligned churches. The bill openly targets them under the pretext of preventing abuse of legal status.
This comes amid escalating actions against opposition voices in South Korea. Pastors have been prosecuted. Conservative civic groups have been raided. Speech is being restricted. Now lawmakers are moving to legally dismantle churches critical of the administration.
For a country long regarded as a strong ally of the United States and a defender of religious liberty, a law enabling government led dissolution of churches is an extraordinary warning sign. It resembles measures used by authoritarian systems to suppress ideological opponents by weaponizing state authority against religious institutions.
South Koreans are deeply concerned that this bill is designed not to regulate non profits, but to silence religious communities that stand with the opposition.
The regime has already jailed Christian pastors.
