Sarin Victims
Sarin attack victims walk to overcome trauma
In an attempt to ease their trauma, about 50 victims of the Aum Supreme Truth cult's sarin nerve gassing of the Tokyo subway system walked alongside the route of the attack Saturday, the eve of its 10th anniversary.
The event to commemorate the March 20, 1995, attack in which 12 people died and thousands were injured was organized by Recovery Support Center, a nonprofit organization that offers free medical support for the victims. The center considers walking together with people who share the same traumatized memories as a type of therapy.
About 15 doctors and nurses accompanied the walk alongside Tokyo Metro's Hibiya Line.
