Russian journalists found a Japanese in Sheremetyevo, which is hiding from the "American occupation"

A citizen of Japan has been living at the Moscow International Airport Sheremetyevo, who decided not to return to his homeland, the Russian News Service reports.

The 36-year-old Tatsuya Abo, a journalist by profession, decided in Russia for political reasons and asks to help him with citizenship, said Roman Genis, head of the press service of the airport, told the radio station.

The Japanese settled in the international zone, exists at his own expense, does not violate laws and there are no complaints about it, they said at the airport. He flew to Moscow on May 1 on a tourist visa, the validity of which has already expired, but according to the law there are no grounds for expulsion of Abo, reports RSN.

Abo was supposed to return home on May 29, that day he registered on his flight in Tokyo, received a boarding card and after that he remained in the departure hall, said NTV , publishing in confirmation of the scans of the Japanese “non -returnor”.

According to Tatsua, he decided to stay in Moscow, because in Japan he was forced to publish "American lies" and even sat in prison for his beliefs on false prosecution.

“We are still like in the American occupation,” the journalist said in a commentary for Vesti FM . “You see, it’s better for me to live such a life, to starve, than to return to where everyone is lying, where they are scrolling around. I worked in a large Japanese -American company, I saw a lot from the inside, but as a journalist I am not allowed to write about it,” he says.

According to Tatsuya, he had to suffer for his beliefs, having served in prison. He did not clarify what exactly he was accused of, but assured that it was a “false accusation”. “Actually, now I am increasingly thinking about getting Russian citizenship. I even wrote a request to the government. I transferred it to the local police, they told me to wait for an answer,” the Japanese added.

In this regard, the RSN recalls that in 2013, in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo Airport, a former employee of the National Security Agency (ANB) Edward Snowden , who revealed the secrets of the American special services and received a temporary shelter, and later a three -year residence permit in Russia, lived for about six weeks. The current inhabitant of the airport compares himself with Snowden, expressing the hope that the migration authorities of the Russian Federation will meet him.
