It is noteworthy that the PFLP had congratulated Shigenobu on her freedom following two decades of imprisonment.

In a statement, the Front stressed that the Palestinian people will never forget the sacrifices of this freedom fighter and her comrades in the Japanese Red Army for Palestine and the cause.

The PFLP indicated that the fighters' revolutionary and humane principles, as well as their anti-imperialist sentiment, led them to join the Front's ranks and fight alongside its freedom fighters.

The organization also hailed the JRA for the Al-Lydd Airport operation conducted in 1972.

Shigenobu, 76, was released after spending over two decades behind bars in Japan over allegations of having a hand in the siege imposed on the French Embassy in The Hague in 1974.
