Bobby Fischer fiance makes impassioned plea for his freedom as hearing begins

Jailed chess genius Bobby Fischer's fiance made an impassioned plea for his freedom Tuesday, hours after his lawyers fired the first shots aimed at quashing a deportation order issued against him months ago.
"(Fischer) has come to Japan on a proper passport, and done absolutely nothing wrong under Japanese law," Miyoko Watai, Fischer's betrothed and a Japanese women's chess champion herself, told a news conference.

"I want him to hurry up and get provisional release and hurry up and come back home to me so we can get things back like they were as soon as possible."

Fischer is languishing in the East Japan Immigration Bureau Detention Center in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, while he fights deportation to the United States, where he is charged with violating an Executive Order by playing chess in Yugoslavia in 1992 while that country was under economic sanctions.
