Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三) was a Japanese ultranationalist, war crime and genocide denier, and the Prime Minister of Japan from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020. He was the leader of the right-wing Liberal Democratic Party. He was assassinated by Yamagami Tetsuya on 2022 July 8.[1]
Political positions
Ties to Nippon Kaigi
Abe was a member of the ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (日本会議). He supported the introduction of U.S. nuclear weapons to Japan for potential use against China and the DPRK.[1][2]
Death
Abe had ties to the cult known as the Unification Church (统一教), accepting donations and providing political patronage to the cult. Yamagami Tetsuya's mother, who was influenced by the Unification Church, gave a large amount of her own savings to it and even sold her house so she could donate the proceeds to the cult. On July 7, 2022, when Abe was giving a speech in Okayama City (Nara Prefecture), Tetsuya shot and killed Abe with a homemade shotgun. His assassination was celebrated by many Chinese and Koreans.
