Hiroko Nagata, Japanese radical and murderer, vice-chairman of United Red Army. died he was , 65

Hiroko Nagata , sometimes mistakenly referred to as Yōko Nagata, was a Japanese leftist radical who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in Japan died he was , 65. Nagata was convicted of murdering, or participating in the murder, of fellow members of the United Red Army (URA) during a group purge in Gunma prefecture, Japan in February 1972.
During the purge, Nagata, acting as vice-chairman of the URA, directed the killing of 14 members of the group by beatings or by forced exposure to frigid winter air temperatures. A URA non-member who was present during the purge was also killed. Arrested on February 16, 1972, Nagata was tried and convicted for her participation in the killings, and was sentenced to death. Nagata died from brain cancer on 5 February 2011 at the Tokyo Detention House.

(Nagata Hiroko?, February 8, 1945 – February 5, 2011)

Biography

Nagata was born in Tokyo and, after graduation from Chofu Gakuen High School, entered Kyoritsu College of Pharmacy (defunct in 2008 and merged into Keio University) to receive training to be a pharmacist. During her time in college, Nagata became involved full-time in left-wing politics, eventually becoming vice-chairman of the United Red Army. Nagata would work herself into what was described as an "hysterical rage" when excited, usually over political issues. She was described as physically unattractive and was (by the standard of medicine of that time) infertile from Basedow syndrome, she was particularly harsh with other female members.^[2]

Purge incident

Japan's leftist student movement in the 1960s pervaded Japan's universities, and, by late in the decade, had become balkanized, competitive, and violent. After a series of incidents in which leftist student groups attacked and injured or killed law enforcement officials as well as the general public, Japan's national police agency cracked down on the student groups, raiding their hideouts and arresting dozens in 1971 and 1972. Attempting to escape from the police, a core group of radicals from the URA, including Nagata, retreated to a compound in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture during the winter of 1972.^[3]
In the second week of February 1972 at the compound, URA's chairman Tsuneo Mori and Nagata initiated a violent purge of the group's members. In the purge, Nagata and Mori directed the beating deaths of eight members and one non-member who happened to be present. Six other members were tied to trees outside where they froze to death in the frigid mountain winter air. Nagata especially targeted group members who, in her opinion, "took too much interest in relations with women and did not devote enough ardor to the revolution." A few were killed for "attempting to escape." One was killed for asking for some tissue paper while inside his sleeping bag, an act that Nagata apparently construed as having a sexual significance.^[4]
On February 16, police arrested Mori, Nagata, and six other URA members at the compound or at a nearby village. Five others, armed with rifles and shotguns, managed to escape, fleeing on foot through the mountains towards Karuizawa in nearby Nagano prefecture and eventually took refuge in a mountain guest lodge, initiating the Asama-Sansō incident.^[5]

Criminal trial and sentence

Hiroko Nagata was sentenced to death in the Tokyo District Court on June 18, 1982. On September 26, 1986, the Tokyo High Court upheld her death sentence. On February 19, 1993, the Supreme Court of Japan upheld her death sentence. Nagata submitted a plea for a retrial, which was declined by the courts on November 28, 2006.^[6]
Nagata wrote several books during her time in prison and attracted the attention of a support group. Nagata's supporters reported that she had suffered from declining health, including a brain tumor, for several years which had gone untreated.^[6] She underwent surgery for a brain tumor in 1984. Nagata collapsed from brain atrophy in 2006 and was transferred to a medical prison in Hachioji. She returned to the Tokyo Detention House in 2007, but was bedridden.^[7]
On October 11, 2008, it was revealed that Nagata had fallen into a critical condition due to the tumor, so her family was called for visitation to the Tokyo Detention Center.^[8] Nagata died on 5 February 2011.^[9]

Robert L. Frye, American educator died he was , 84.

Robert Lafayette Frye was an educator and politician from the U.S. state of Louisiana died he was , 84..

(January 9, 1927 – February 4, 2011)

Early years and education

Frye was born to Jennings Bryan Frye, Sr. (1896-1970), and the former Fannie Mae Coyle (1900-1994)^[1] in Shongaloo south of Springhill in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, where at the age of sixteen he graduated from Shongaloo High School. He enrolled in Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, from which he received in 1966 his Ph.D. in education. On October 6, 1945, Frye wed the former Bettye Elmore (also born 1927), and left for stateside service in the United States Army two months after the conclusion of World War II.^[2]
His career began as a teacher/coach at Reeves High School in Reeves in Allen Parish in south Louisiana. He returned to his native region as a principal in three Webster Parish schools located in the Evergreen community north of the parish seat of Minden, Dubberly, and his native Shongaloo. He advanced to the Louisiana Department of Education in Baton Rouge and finally to Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, where he also served on the elected Tangipahoa Parish School Board^[2]prior to 1990.

Campaign for state superintendent

In 1972, Frye sought the then elected, and since appointed, position of Louisiana state education superintendent. He won the Republican nomination over Otis Romaine Russell, 8,245 (81.4 percent) to 1,889 (18.6 percent).^[3] Russell is a former controversial Baton Rouge Teamsters Union attorney, who later confessed in 1980 during his legal disciplinary hearing to mental illness.^[4]This was the last closed primary held for state and local offices in Louisiana because the state switched to the nonpartisan blanket primary four years later.^{[citation needed]}
Frye had expected to face the two-term Democratic incumbent, Bill Dodd, but Dodd was instead unseated in the party primary in 1971 by Louis J. Michot of Lafayette,^[5] a businessman, former state representative, and member of the State Board of Education. Frye ran against Michot on the GOP ticket headed by gubernatorial standard-bearer David C. Treen, then of Jefferson Parish in the New Orleans suburbs, who was opposing Edwin Washington Edwards. Other Republicans running statewide in the February 1, 1972, general election were former State Representative Morley A. Hudson of Shreveport, nominee for lieutenant governor and Tom Stagg of Shreveport, candidate for state attorney general. All of the statewide Republican candidates went down to defeat, but Treen led his party slate by polling 42.8 percent against Edwards, winner of the first of his four nonconsecutive terms in the office.^[6]
After Michot unseated Dodd, Frye telephoned him to offer congratulations. A few weeks later, Frye alleged that Michot, along with a brother, was operating a bar in Lafayette. Frye also claimed that Michot had offered him a high level job in a new Michot education department if Frye would withdraw from the general election contest.^[7] Michot denied the charges^[7] and easily prevailed, 662,597 votes (63.5 percent) to Frye's 380,896 (36.5 percent).^[6] At the time Frye challenged Michot, the Republican Party in Louisiana numbered fewer than 38,000 registrants in the state; Frye henced polled ten times the votes of his own party base.^[8][9]Frye lost both his native Webster Parish as well as Tangipahoa, one of the Florida Parishes, where he was residing at the time of that campaign. Frye polled majorities in East Baton Rouge Parish and five north Louisiana parishes: Caddo, Ouachita, LaSalle, Lincoln, and Winn, the former stronghold of the Long political faction.^[6][10]

Death and family

Years later, Frye retired to Springhill, located just south of the Arkansas state boundary. He died at the age of eighty-four. In addition to his wife, he is survived by four children, Robert Randal Frye (born 1947) of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bettye Rene Frye (born 1951) of Baton Rouge, Deborah Jean Frye Ferachi (born 1952), and husband, Kenneth Raymond "Kenny" Ferachi (born 1950), of Plaquemine in Iberville Parish south of Baton Rouge, and Kevin Dale Frye (born 1957) and wife Janice of Benton in Bossier Parish; a sister, Nona Rhea Walker (born 1920) of Baton Rouge; six grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.^[2] He was predeceased by his brother, Dr. Jennings Bryan Frye, Jr. (1918-2005), of Baton Rouge.^[1]
Frye's obituary describes his "greatest pride as the children he knew and educated in schools and colleges." Frye's funeral services were held on February 7, 2011, at his home church, the First Baptist Church of Springhill. Interment followed in Springhill Cemetery.^[2]
