UPDATE 2: Bobby Fischer's lawyer

Takeshi Ohashi has reported to the Committee to Free Bobby Fischer
that at 7:20 PM he formally filed a lawsuit at the Tokyo District
Court to overturn the deportation order and to seek an injunction
against any action to physically move Bobby Fischer to deport him to
the United States. According to Bobby Fischer's lawyer Masako Suzuki,
the court will now typically take about one month to consider the
written request for an injunction on the whole deportation process,
and if that injunction is granted, we can expect it to take up to one
year for the entire lawsuit to be dealt with in the Tokyo District
Court. The lawyers have sent a written formal notice to the
Immigration officials by fax as of 7:35 PM notifying them that this
matter has now been received by the courts for deliberation and that
no further adverse actions should be taken against Bobby Fischer. The
Committee to Free Bobby Fischer is confident

Yeah, right.

that this battle to
defend Bobby's inalienable rights and freedoms will be successful and
that Bobby Fischer will be freed.
