New Delhi, July 8: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has passed away after being shot on Friday morning. He was shot during a speech in the city of Nara near Kyoto.
Abe was reportedly rushed to a hospital, and the fire brigade said that he is not exhibiting any vital signs. Abe was backing the election campaign of a candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party.
Earlier, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida referred to the killing of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as a “unforgiveable act” and denounced it in the “strongest terms” because it took place during an election, which is a key component of democracy.
