                    Memorial for slain ex-PM Abe held in his western Japan constituency

                    Some 2,000 mourners, including current and former lawmakers, attended a memorial service held Saturday for slain former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the western Japan prefecture of Yamaguchi, where his constituency was located. "My husband loved Yamaguchi Prefecture, and (supporters here) let him do big work for Japan. It was a fruitful 67 years of life for him," the late leader's widow Akie said at the ceremony at a convention center in Shimonoseki. "He was sent off magnificently." Saturday's event, co-organized by the prefectural government, also sparked demonstrations at numerous sites in the prefecture, including near the venue. The service started around 2 p.m. when Abe's remains arrived at the venue. Mourners observed a moment of silence and laid flowers after a video of Abe was played. The event was streamed live at seven other cities in the prefecture.
