Law to free France from the narcotrafficking trap: Applying anti-terrorism measures to mass delinquency - 2025.
25
The Tokyo subway sarin attack carried out by the Aum Shinrikyo cult in March 1995 marked the culmination of a series of criminal cases involving this religious organization. The past half-century offers a chance to reassess the judicial handling of these crimes, the memory of which remains deeply ingrained in the minds of the victims and their descendants. The Aum trial was, first and foremost, a long and frustrating criminal process for the victims’ families, culminating in thirteen death sentences and executions. It placed the Japanese judiciary under international scrutiny and criticism and prompted improvements to the previously neglected legal status of victims during criminal proceedings. Furthermore, the Aum trial generated a large number of subsequent—and still pending—administrative and civil cases, contributing to a complex sense of victimization among not only the families mourning loved ones lost in the attacks but also the relatives of the convicts, who faced dicrimination in Japanese society. Finally, it compelled the Japanese government to develop specific policies to address large-scale murders.
