A Japanese court ordered a university to allow the daughter of a doomsday cult leader to enroll, rejecting the school's argument that her presence would be disruptive, media reported Friday.
Bunkyo University initially admitted the youngest daughter of Shoko Asahara, leader of the Aum Shinrikyo cult responsible for a sarin nerve gas attack in Tokyo's subways in 1995 that killed 12 people. The school reversed its decision after realizing who her father was.
The Tokyo District Court ruled the school did not have a legitimate reason for withdrawing its acceptance offer.
