Japan is still no news of his two hostages threatened with death by the Islamic State Group (EI). Among them is Kenji Goto, an independent journalist who was kidnapped last October in Syria. This week, his mother had called on the government to do everything to secure his release.
The jihadists had threatened to execute the hostages if a ransom of $ 200 million was not paid to them within 72 hours. The ultimatum has now expired, but the Japanese authorities, who held a crisis meeting, say they have no information. They were still trying to make contact with the kidnappers, including through intermediaries in Turkey.
Meanwhile, the hostages are increasing expressions of support on social networks. Many Internet brandish messages '' I am Kenji '', '' I'm Haruna '', '' Do not kill them. ''
