 (7/15)\nFumiaki Hoshino is the longest held political prisoner in Japan. He 
 was a student political activist and leader in the protest struggle against 
 the US military bases in Okinawa and Japanese imperialism. On November 14, 
 1971, he led a demonstration in Tokyo against permanently maintaining the 
 US bases there with the nuclear arsenal. An Osaka education women trade 
 unionist Noriko Nagata and a policeman were killed in the protest, and the 
 government has sought to blame the deaths on protest leader Hoshino. He was 
 sentenced to life imprisonment and has been in jail for 37 years, and is 
 now filing the second application for retrial. He has also received support 
 from trade unionists in Japan and the US.  He met his wife Akiko after he 
 was jailed and she has been fighting for his release. She will present his 
 watercolor pictures painted in the prison and speak about their 
 international solidarity campaign.\nA video on his case and the struggle 
 during that period edited by Manabu Minagawa will be shown during the 
 exhibition period.\nhttp://fhoshino.u.cnet-ta.ne.jp/\nSee
