The current leader of the Aum Shinrikyo cult and his followers are set to announce at a meeting slated for early March that they will withdraw from the cult, founded by former leader Shoko Asahara who is now on death row, group members said Feb. 26.

Fumihiro Joyu, 44, and others who are now critical of Asahara are planning to set up a new organization after completing procedures for leaving the cult within March, the members said.

The new body, whose name and date of establishment have not yet been decided, is expected to comprise about 60 live-in and 200 lay members, they said.
