TOKYO, April 8 – RIA Novosti. The assassin of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Tetsuya Yamagami said through his lawyers that he was receiving letters of support, the Sankei newspaper reported. The publication learned from Yamagami’s attorneys that in the remand center, he receives letters of support from those who, like him, suffered from the “Unification Church.” Through lawyers, he said he could not respond to the letters, but he hoped that the law passed on the protection of victims of religious organizations and illegal donations would help those who suffered from the involvement of their parents in religious organizations. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was fatally injured during a speech at a campaign rally in Nara prefecture on July 8. His killer, Tetsuya Yamagami, 42, shot Abe twice from the back with a makeshift gun. At the second shot, the politician was injured in the neck and chest, which became fatal. Shinzo Abe died of blood loss. Yamagami cited Abe’s alleged connection to the Unification Church as the motive for the crime. Yamagami’s mother donated 100 million yen (about $740,000, about $1 million at the time) to the organization, which led to the family’s bankruptcy and destruction, depriving the children from their breadwinner. The funeral and cremation took place on July 12, and Abe’s state funeral was held on September 27. 26,000 people came to say goodbye to him. Abe’s involvement with the Unification Church has not been proven to date, but his assassination prompted the investigation into politicians’ links to that organization. As a result, it turned out that out of 379 MPs from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, 179, including cabinet ministers, were associated with the Unification Church. The motives for Abe’s murder became the reason for passing a law protecting the children and families of adherents of religious organizations. At the beginning of the year, a psychiatric examination of Yamagami was carried out, he was charged under several articles, including the article “murder”. His fate will be decided by a jury.
