Three daughters of former Red Army Faction members who hijacked a Japan Airlines flight in 1970 visited the Tokyo Detention House on Wednesday to see one of the trio's father, who is being held there.
Azumi Tanaka, 22, the eldest daughter of Yoshimi Tanaka, 52, who was indicted last June over the hijacking incident, met her father at the detention house in Tokyo's Adachi Ward.
The three daughters -- Tanaka, along with Ritsuko Konishi, 23, daughter of Takahiro Konishi, 56, and Asaka Tamiya, 22, daughter of Takamaro Tamiya, the deceased leader of the hijackers -- were driven to the detention house by their supporters. They made no comment as they entered the facility.
