The funeral of Shigeru Yokota, the father of Megumi Yokota who was abducted by North Korea and died on the 5th of this month, was held at a church in Kawasaki City on the afternoon of the 8th.

Shigeru Yokota was the father of Megumi Yokota, who was abducted by North Korea on the way home from her school in Niigata City in 1977 when she was in the first grade of junior high school. ..

I have been at the forefront of my activities with my wife, Sakie, as a "symbol of the abduction victim's rescue movement", but I fell ill and was admitted to a hospital in Kawasaki city from April. He died at age 87 due to aging.

The funeral was held in a church in Kawasaki City on the afternoon of the 8th, and about 50 people attended, including Sakie and his sons Takuya and Tetsuya, as well as other abductee families, officials of the government and support groups. ..

You can see from the pictures of the altar taken by the family that a lot of colorful flowers and a blue ribbon, a symbol of rescue of abductee victims, are displayed around Shigeru's knees.

Next to the higashi, there is a remnant of Shigeru who smiled in the same suit as when he was running around the country for rescue activities.

According to a person involved, Sakie said in a greeting to the attendants, "I'm waiting in heaven. Don't forget, I'll go," he sent, yelling loudly. I am sure."

Sakie, Takuya, and Tetsuya will hold a press conference in Tokyo on the 9th.
