Japanese Red Army founder Fusako Shigenobu freed from prison after:

  • A. 15 years
  • B. 20 years
  • C. 25 years
  • D. 19 years

Correct Answer: B. 20 years

The co-founder of the Japanese Red Army militant group has been freed from prison after serving 20 years for her part in a 1974 embassy siege. Fusako Shigenobu, 76, had evaded capture for decades before being arrested in Osaka in 2000. Her once-feared group had aimed to provoke a global socialist revolution through high-profile terror acts. They carried out a series of hostage-takings and hijackings, as well as a deadly attack on an Israeli airport.
