"Mr President, the only thing that the death penalty demonstrates is that society accepts and encourages premeditated murder. It is an utterly barbaric act that ought to be consigned to history. What is particularly barbaric in Japan is the fact that families are not even given a chance to say goodbye. However, this is also based on the belief that a person who has been given the death penalty does not have any expectations. Every person must be given a chance to improve themselves and to have the hope of a different future, the hope of improvement. If not a single person is given this hope of improvement and the opportunity to live, what hope is there for humanity?
Japan is not a barbaric country and therefore, I hope that the investigation will show that they are going to abolish their death penalty, and that is what we are calling for. The Justice Minister should maintain his predecessor’s position. Do not do anything until you have finally abolished the death penalty."@en1
