[www-features] Re: [Imc-oceania] Proposed: Chess Grandmaster held in Japanese Jail under U.S. Orders

I think we should publish this story. We seldom have opportunities to 
put up features that originate from Japan. I have rewritten it slighlty 
and added formatting. I will be offline for a few days. Can someone 
else publish please?

Title: Chess Grandmaster held in Japanese Jail under U.S. Orders

TOKYO, Japan - The world chess grandmaster, Bobby Fischer, who recently 
turned out to be a hardcore critic against U.S. war crimes, is being 
held under custody by the Japanese authorities after being accused of 
having an alleged revoked U.S. passport while he was about to leave 
Tokyo for Manila in Narita airport. Fischer was arrested in July 2004 
and is now being held at the Ibaraki prefecture jail. 
<p>
Fischer’s fiancée, Miyoko Watai, said in a statement that Japanese 
police had illegally detained him at the Narita airport jailhouse while 
his passport was confiscated and destroyed. "Furthermore in collusion 
with the U.S. government the Japanese immigration authorities have 
confiscated and destroyed Bobby Fischer's U.S. passport"[<a
