Dear Great American People. My name is M■ H■, ■ years old, a ■, living in ■, Japan. On 28 August 2018, I was suddenly swatted by joint group of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and Ministry of Finance with full set of warrants for search, seizure and arrest. The charge was me "commited to smuggle" Kratom and Flmodafinil which I bought as dietary supplements at legitimate American online store. I was cuffed, rope tied around my waist with officer grabbing the end, like a dog. And like that, I was dragged around streets under broad daylight, taken to see doctor at hospital to have me prescribed my medication. I was jailed for a month before release without charge by "lack of evidence". But getting "Arrested for Drug" is enough to ruin one's life, especially of a doctor. During the incarcelation I lost my job at hospital receiving punitive dismissal.
I bought Kratom and Flmodafinil at online stores that I just googled that were ■ and ■. The latter one is even being sold on Amazon.com as of now. Both of them did offer international shipment to Japan with forms and accepted payments with my Japanese credit cards. The packages were sent via USPS with exact names of contents labeled on their surfaces. If this was "summergling" then any e-commerce between Japan and USA can be criminal attempt.
I was traumatized by how they treat me as "criminal" like an animal, how joyfully they swagger every time they take me cuffed and roped like a trophy of their manhunt. When I saw one of them wearing US DEA badge, I was horrified to be reminded, that these peopel don't know what they are doing.
They say I'm all guilty for not knowing the bans. But lawers didn't know, saying "It's almost impossible". Even they didn't know what they were, barely read those names in english. Their ban list could not be found by search engine, it was only available in pdf file of which link is deep inside MHLW homepage. And even if you reach the file, it just shows bunch of chemical formula and (2-Amino-2-oxoethyl)[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]sulfoniumolate and , which is Flmodafinil. It doesn't state why or how those bans were legislated. But on the other hand, America and other nations are legally selling them online, they are shipping to Japan. Aren't they guilty as well? THE POINT IS, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT IS CRIMINALIZING JAPANESE PEOPLE TO BUY PRODUCTS AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SELLING! THEY ARE ARRESTING AND JAILING PEOPLE FOR THIS!
I want to ask President Trump, all dear Uncle Sam, and all our fellow American Citizens. Did you know this? Did you arrest those American people who sold me Japanese, received payments from me Japanese, no matter if they knew it was illegal or not? Did you know such regulations were made and are being made by unelected men hiding inside Japanese government, who never even try to announce and explain their decisions to all the people around the world, never even to their own people, the desicions that deprive us Japanese people of rights that American people maintain, and even worse, make us criminal for otherwise non-existant "drug crime".
THIS IS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. They ruined my life. Please don't let them ruin others. PLEASE STOP THEM.
