Japan hangs 3 death-row inmates in 1st executions in 2 yrs

Three death-row inmates were hanged Tuesday, the Ministry of Justice said, in Japan's first executions since December 2019 and first under the administration of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The three were identified as Yasutaka Fujishiro, 65, who killed seven of his relatives in Hyogo Prefecture in 2004, and Tomoaki Takanezawa, 54, and Mitsunori Onogawa, 44, convicted of killing two employees at two separate pachinko parlors in Gunma Prefecture in 2003. Following Tuesday's executions, the number of inmates sitting on death row in Japan stands at 107. Japan's capital punishment system has drawn international criticism, with critics calling for greater transparency on the timing of executions given that death-row inmates are typically notified just hours before or, at times, not at all.
