[HIGHLIGHTS] Remains of former death row inmate Chizuo Matsumoto handed over; government appeals against Tokyo District Court ruling

Remains of former death row inmate Chizuo Matsumoto handed over; government appeals against Tokyo District Court ruling. The government will hand over the remains and hair of former Aum Shinrikyo leader Shoko Asahara to his second daughter.

As a result, the second daughter is filing a lawsuit. Public security authorities are concerned that it could become an object of veneration by Aleph believers, whose name has been changed from AumShinRikyo. The decision will be referred to the high court.
