Masao Adachi, one of four Japanese Red Army Faction fugitives who were deported to Japan from Lebanon and arrested upon their arrival in March, has given Kyodo News a detailed description of how they were handed over.
Adachi, 61, is being detained by the Metropolitan Police in Tokyo while he stands trial on charges of using a fictitious name in an attempt to enter Czechoslovakia in 1989. In a 31-page composition titled "Spring 2000, Beirut," written in pencil, Adachi wrote about how the four were separated from Red Army Faction member Kozo Okamoto in Lebanon and what they talked about with investigators.
According to the document, Adachi was suddenly ordered to leave a prison in Lebanon on the afternoon of March 17.
