In this picture taken on July 19, 1995, Shoko Asahara (C), head of the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo, is transferred from Tokyo police headquarters to Tokyo District Court for questioning. Seven of 13 members of a cult behind a deadly sarin attack in Tokyo's subway have been moved to different prison facilites, the justice ministry said on March 15, 2018, as speculation grows that they could soon be executed.
