Shigenobu de Fusa was arrested by Japanese police on 8 November 2000 at a hotel near Kyoto. Since then, Shigenobu has spent more than 21 years in cell, but tomorrow, 28 May, he will be released. During the second half of the twentieth century he fought for many years for the "world revolution" in Japan and the Middle East.

Shigenobu began to militate in left-wing movements when he was young, after a hard childhood, as his family had little money, so he mocked and mocked as a child. In the late 1960s he entered the Red Army Fraction and was arrested in 1970. After preparing the questionnaire, he was released and decided to go underground.

In 1971 he moved to Lebanon and remained in the Middle East until the twenty-first century. In it, the Red Army of Japan related to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, highlighting the international orientation of the revolutionary project of the Japanese Red Army.

Once in prison, in 2001, he announced the dissolution of the Japanese Red Army. In 1974, Shigenobu was sentenced to life imprisonment for kidnapping at the French embassy in The Hague, The Netherlands, but was not admitted. In 2010, the Supreme Court did not accept Shigenobu’s appeal and confirmed the 20-year prison sentence. The punishment will end tomorrow.
