The
religious group Aleph made a fresh start in February, 2000 after
dissolving Aum Shinrikyo, its predecessor. Reflecting deeply
on what its predecessor did in the past, Aleph started to make
apologies and compensation to the victims and bereaved families.
Since then, from time to time, Aleph has expressed its comments
on the past incidents as well as apologies to the victims and
bereaved families. |
