Japonia a executat un deţinut condamnat pentru un incendiu criminal / SUA și Japonia sunt singurele membre G7 care folosesc pedeapsa cu moartea

A death row inmate was executed in Japan for a 2009 arson attack that killed five people. This marks the first execution since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi took office. Sunao Takami set fire to a pachinko parlor in Osaka, resulting in multiple fatalities. Japan remains one of the few G7 countries that still employs the death penalty, with public support largely in favor despite ongoing criticism regarding execution procedures. The last execution prior to this was in June 2025, and Japan has seen several executions in recent years.
