Shinzo Abe, Japan's right-wing nationalist prime minister, does not need much encouragement to tighten up secrecy laws, give more powers to the police, or make it easier to use military force. The grisly executions of two Japanese citizens caught by Islamic State terrorists in Syria have provided precisely the encouragement that Abe needs to pursue such measures.
日本右翼民族主义者首相安倍晋三不需要有人鼓舞就收紧了隐私法，授予警察更大的权力，或让使用武力更加容易。两名被伊斯兰国恐怖分子绑架的日本公民在叙利亚被残忍处决，这给了安倍正需要的采取这些措施的鼓励。
