Japan Mourns Slain PM Shinzo Abe With Divisive $11.5 Million State Funeral
A 19-gun salute, flowers left by 10,000 people and $11.5 million of taxpayersโ money were only a few elements of late Japanese PM Shinzo Abeโs state funeral - the countryโs first in 55 years - that divided opinion on Tuesday.
US Vice President Kamala Harris and Indian President Narendra Modi were among the 4,300 mourners at the funeral service itself, with 20,000 police officers deployed on the streets.
A recent TV Asahi poll found only 34% of Japanese citizens supported a state funeral for the leader due to his poor economic performance and links to a controversial unification Church. Protesters hit the streets to demonstrate against it.
