Ahead of the 14th anniversary of the Aum Shinrikyo subway sarin incident, in which 6300 people died and approximately 20,28 people were affected, the bereaved families submitted a request to the government requesting further efforts to recover the damage and compensate for the damage.
In the Aum Shinrikyo subway sarin incident, in which commuters and others were indiscriminately targeted, the deadly poisonous sarin was sprayed on three lines running in Tokyo, killing 3 people and injuring about 14,6300 people.
On the 28th, before the 28th anniversary of the incident, the bereaved families and lawyers visited the Ministry of Justice and other organizations and submitted a request to Minister of Justice Saito and Director General Urata of the Public Security Investigation Agency.
The petition calls for further efforts to recover damages and compensate for the damage by monitoring the asset status of the successor organizations and ensuring that compensation is paid, and for strict measures to prevent recurrence of the cult "Aleph," which changed its name from Aum Shinrikyo, so that the people can live with peace of mind, and to clarify the actual situation.
As for "Aleph," the Public Safety Review Board decided to apply the recurrence prevention measures for the first time on the 13th of this month, and it prohibits the use of more than half of the religious institutions and the receipt of donations for six months.
Shizue Takahashi, the representative caretaker of the Subway Sarin Incident Victims' Association and who lost her husband in the incident, said, "'Aleph' has not responded to the payment even though the compensation order of more than 6 billion yen has been finalized.
