A nonprofit group that arranged for a Japanese college student to take up an internship in Romania has set up an overseas safety panel after the student was murdered in August.

In addition to creating the panel staffed by crisis-management experts, Aiesec in Japan has also compiled preventive measures, including creating a list of people coming to pick up visitors in host countries and the means of transport, and raising the level of English proficiency required for an internship candidate.

The victim, Yurika Masuno, a student at the University of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, was found dead two days after arriving in Bucharest.
