Japan to deport Bobby Fischer

Japan has decided to deport former world chess champion Bobby Fischer.
"A deportation order was issued today," said an immigration official, as the courts rejected Mr Fischer's latest attempt to prevent his departure.
Mr Fischer is wanted in the US for violating international sanctions against Yugoslavia in 1992.
The controversial player was detained in Japan last month while trying to travel to the Philippines on a revoked US passport.

It's very pity.
