Adjusted in the direction to meet with Pope Satoshi Hamada September 14th 17:40
In particular, Pope Francis of the Roman Catholic Church who visits Japan in November meets Mr. Satoshi Tomita who is seeking inquisition and seeking retrial after the death penalty was confirmed in the so-called `` Isuda incident '' that occurred in 1966. I can see that the direction is being adjusted. Pope Francis opposes the death penalty system, and if the meeting is realized, international attention will be drawn to the Japanese death penalty system.
Pope Francis visited Japan for the first time in 38 years as a Pope in a period of four days from November 23, and held victims of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, A-bombed areas, and conducted masses in Nagasaki and Tokyo. It's a schedule.
According to Vatican officials, Pope Francisco stayed in Tokyo on November 25, after the death penalty was finalized in the case of the death of four corporate officers in 1966, and appealed for innocence and asked for a retrial. It means that adjustments are being made in the direction of meeting with Mr. Satoshi Hamada.
In March last year, Pope Francisco, who opposed the death penalty, revised the teachings of the Catholic Church to clarify that the death penalty was not allowed, and showed a policy to work towards the abolition of the death penalty. If the visit is realized, it is likely that international attention will be drawn to the Japanese capital punishment system.
