Unlawful Capture; Detained and Denuded

Unlawful Capture; Detained and Denuded

On September 13, 2024, I was traveling on Amtrak from Boston Massachusetts to Los Angeles California for educational purposes.  I was able to safely transfer from my Boston train to the Chicago Illinois transfer station to the Los Angeles California bound train.  

During that ride, while I was in the observation car, a conductor came and told me I had to leave the train because a female passenger had accused me of rude behavior.  I refuted those claims and even offered to apologize for something I did not do, but the conductor and police officer on the train would not allow that and continued to intimidate me.  I decided that the argument was not worth the trouble and got off the train of my own accord.  

The police officer however did not let me leave the station freely.  Instead, he grabbed my arm and my luggage and forcibly arrested me because I had not left the train quickly enough.  I was sent to a facility called “MCD Jail” where I was stripped of all my clothes and held in a cell with no food or drinkable water.  

Everything was pushed through a small hole in the heavy sliding door keeping me isolated.  I was not allowed to make any phone calls and I was very afraid for my safety and freedom.  They claimed that I was on a “suicide watch - a safety measure for people with the intention kill themselves,” but the Mental Health official did not speak to me face to face or address me as a patient or even as a human being.  

I had a virtual meeting on the floor of my cell where I was not allowed to speak on my own behalf for the court session that took place.  I was held in that facility for 72 hours, and it is an experience that will always cause fear in myself against the officials in the United States.  

I immediately booked a ticket to Japan after that experience to escape the systematic monitoring and discrimination of Asian people.  Although my descent is Chinese-American, I am aware that China is also an authoritarian regime.  That is why I seek asylum in Japan, a country that survived the tragedy of 2 atom bombs dropped by the US during World War II.  As a US citizen, I felt shame for my country when I learned of the history of what was done to your country.  I feel this attitude of ethnocentricity continues in many Western nations.  

As an acclaimed scientist that has contributed to the wealth of knowledge on how our bodies are able to differentiate into many different organs, I wish to devote myself to Japan and it’s spirit of innovation and independence from religious persecution by the West.  I ask for an interpreter and an international legal expert to assist me in raising this scandal in an international context such as the International Criminal Court.  

The fact that authoritarianism was applied to an Academic that was trained in the highest educational facility in their country (Harvard University) should be a matter of great dispute to the functioning of their government. My mentality was damaged trying to find acceptance and sympathy in a culture that saw me as nothing but a laboratory specimen intended for social quarantine and enforced medical testing.  

As a person that taught himself conversational Japanese watching Feudal dramas and Animated heroism, I hope to find that spirit of Japanese pride in your people’s ability to see and shelter me as a adopted son, one who is orphaned from everything he thought he knew about respect and common decency in what was once the “land of the free and home of the brave”.  

A son that has proven himself as a professional in both the Academic and Industrial Pharmaceutical industries as a Quality Control Scientist.  Thank you for taking the time to understand my painful history and for giving me a chance to show how I can contribute to your country as an expert in disease therapy and research and development.
