The bereaved families of the victims of the Osaka clinic arson incident that occurred in December last year requested the government to provide more support, saying that the compensation for the crime victims and the bereaved families was insufficient.
Her wife, who lost her husband in the incident, says, "I want her to create a system that will help her right after the victim."
Last December, 26 people involved were killed in an arson incident at a psychosomatic medicine clinic in a building in Kita-ku, Osaka.
Some of the victims were unemployed and had a "rework program" for employment, but the benefits provided by the government to the victims' bereaved families are based on the victims' income at the time of the incident. Since the compensation amount is calculated in some cases, it may not be possible to receive sufficient compensation.
On the 13th, the "Meeting for Crime Damage Compensation", which is made up of the bereaved families of the victims of this incident and the victims of crime, asked the government to enhance compensation and support at the House of Councilors Hall and handed over the request.
For bereaved families, there are issues such as the current benefit system may be less than the amount paid by the "automobile liability insurance" for traffic accidents, and there are cases where the perpetrators do not compensate and fall asleep. Based on the current situation, we are requesting the establishment of a new system, such as the government's rebuilding.
The wife said that the compensation was reduced because the husband who was killed in the arson case was unemployed. Was lumped together because he was "unemployed." The suspect died, he could no longer seek damages, and he felt like he was being told to do it himself. " Did.
She then said she "would like to create a system that would allow victims who are exposed to various burdens, such as investigating and responding to the media, to be supported immediately after the damage."
