Asahara's daughters sue state Two daughters of a former cult leader sentenced to death for masterminding the 1995 nerve gas attack on Tokyo's subway system are suing the government and a court-appointed psychiatrist after a court rejected his appeal, a lawyer said April 29. The daughters accused the high court of "suddenly" rejecting the appeal a day before the lawyers were to present Shoko Asahara's case in order to block their submission, Kyodo News agency said. They also accused the psychiatrist of having decided that Asahara was fit for trial before interviewing him, it said. Kyodo said the plaintiffs are seeking ¥50 million in compensation.
