| Latest news, Tuesday 15 March 2005
1) After meeting at 2.30 pm today, the Tokyo District Court said it will
likely rule by next week on Bobby Fischer's habeas corpus application in
which his lawyers demanded his release.
2) Also today, Kazuya Shimba, member of the House of Councillors for the
Democratic Party, questioned Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura and
Justice Ministry officials in a parliamentary committee. For 30 full
minutes he grilled them on their continuing failure to release Bobby
Fischer according to law.
3) Tomorrow at 11.30 am, Mizuho Fukushima, leader of Japan's opposition
Social Democratic Party, will meet the Director of the Immigration
Bureau at the Ministry of Justice. She will then hold a news conference
at 12 noon. She will be the second member of the Japanese Parliament to
raise in public the scandal of Bobby Fischer's detention.

If you want to help Fischer get released, urge media contacts to cover
these developments.
For example, non-chess journalists who have covered Kasparov's
retirement may be interested in writing about the scandal of Fischer's
continuing detention.
Refer them to the Committee to Free Bobby Fischer, whose website is at:
<http://www.freebobbyfischer.net>
And do it fast. Global news coverage prior to Mizuho Fukushima's meeting
with the Director of the Immigration Bureau tomorrow will certainly be
noted by the Foreign Ministry and may have a beneficial effect.

Fine, good idea. In Denmark not much is written about Fischer. I myself
wrote an article three weeks ago, but I registered no reaction from any
readers.

In my country regularly were published all information about Fischer. I
published today information about habeas corpus application ("banana" 14.
March), information about Fischer's birthday and some others. As you know,
our people were offered Bobby to come in our country. Our famous chess
journalist Dimitrije Bjelica offered to Bobby his house in Igalo, Herceg
Novi.
Best regards,
Goran Tomic

Dear Sir,
If you have any more information about Bobby could you send me directly
because I don't read each day the post on the rec.misc newsgroup. I would
like to publish more information to make public
pressure on the authorities to help Bobby.
Best wishes,
Goran Tomic

| Of course I hope nobody reading this thread is deluded enough to
believe that there is true justice in Japan, which has close to a 99%
conviction rate once a person is arrested. The deal with Fischer is a
fait accompli, and it's now a triumph of form (and forum) over
substance.
Fischer is coming back to the US to stand trial for disrespecting the
US in a public way, which is a crime in America in all but name.
Case closed.
One good thing about America though is that once a person serves a
short sentence (unless it is for dealing drugs, in which case it is a
long sentence), he or she is freed to start again--like Martha Stewart.

"I find the intolerance of differing opinions here disturbing.
The citizens of the U.S. do not have a monopoly on the truth but
from external appearances it seems like most of them think they do."
