Tokyo ; Former chess champion Bobby Fischer won a major battle in his fight against deportation to the United States, as a court ruled Wednesday he can stay in Japan until his lawsuit against the deportation order has been heard, his supporters said.
The Tokyo District Court granted the injunction to Mr. Fischer, meaning that he can remain in Japan until it has ruled on the lawsuit, according to a statement by Mr. Fischer's de facto spokesman, John Bosnitch. The statement said it could take as much as a year for the court to hear that case.
