after 7 years passed since the trial started, finally prosecutor demanded the death penalty on the founder of the former biggest cult in japan. his cult members killed 12 people in the subway in tokyo spreading poisoned gas 8 years ago. they also kidnaped a family and killed them, and also spread sarin gas in matsumoto, nagano and killed couple of people in there.... i still remember the day when the founder was arrested. i was 14 years old, at that time, and i got cold on that day so didnt go to school and watching tv at that time... all the channels were reporting about coumpulsory investigation to that cult by the police, and they found so many weird stuff in there, and finally at the hidden room made between 2nd snd 3rd floor of the building, the founder was found and arrested... that news was so shocking also because that day was a birth day of my favorite singer at that time. i was like, "oh, he(my favorite singer) might feel bad now..." i was worried about it.

i remember that cult group had their own community near fuji mountain, the biggest mountain in japan, and they had bunch of department like financial department, agriculture department, etc..by themselves. they had couple of plants also, like 8 or 9 and in each of them they had different functions... after the founder got arrested, there were still some executives of the cult who were not arrested yet, and they kept saying "we are no to blame! the police are trying to put the guilt on us!" on a press conference, and tv news were broadcasting that all the time and eventually some viewer started to like them and i remember they made fan club of those cult people...

now i think about people who used to be in that cult and dont belong to them anymore. they must have been kinda "brainwashed" or strictlly controlled before, and after those bubble was gone, how do they feel about these trial thing now? its like (maybe not,) people in iraq will experience from now on.

i should go to bed now and wake up early to have breakfast with my younger sister.
