Sir,

I am Selig Tsai, the president of United Nations’ NGO Rescue Committee for the people of Japan Empire (also known as the Red Cross of Japan Empire, RCJE)

RCJE accepted a donation from a person protected by the IV GENEVA CONVENTION RELATIVE TO THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS IN TIME OF WAR OF 12 AUGUST 1949 (Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, hereinafter “GCIV”) on 16 August 2017 (Annex 1 – The donation receipt).

The said protected person is a lady whose name is Yehe Shih Hsu (許月時).

The said donation is 1000 US dollar in total with ten banknotes.

On 9 September 2017, the said protected person lady Hsu told RCJE President that the banknotes of the said donation may be not real and do not use them.

RCJE has kept the said ten banknotes in security and does not use them.

By the said donation, on 29 December 2017, RCJE President received a notification by USAF-CRAG. (Annex 2 - USAF-CRAG’s notification and Annex 3 USAF-CRAG: see Definitions of Terms in Red Cross Law of Japan Empire)

The said notification states that the RCJE President Selig Tsai is a suspect in using fake money to cheat others, it needs RCJE President Selig Tsai to make a report in its designate agency and if RCJE President Selig Tsai not be there on time will be attacked and kidnaped by USAF-CRAG.  

RCJE President Selig Tsai never accept the “depriving a protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial” (Article 147 of GCIV)

For this international emergency, RCJE requests ICRC, Protecting Powers and United Nations to require the United States of America and its USAF-CRAG for observing the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.

RCJE requests the President of United States of America and its USAF-CRAG to respect protected persons of GCIV for their persons, their honour, and their family rights. And please notice the provisions of GCIV concerned to this event:

“Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity. […]”(Article 27 of GCIV)

“No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. […]”(Article 27 of GCIV)

“No sentence shall be pronounced by the competent courts of the Occupying Power except after a regular trial.

Accused persons who are prosecuted by the Occupying Power shall be promptly informed, in writing, in a language which they understand,of the particulars of the charges preferred against them, and shall be brought to trial as rapidly as possible. The Protecting Power shall be informed of all proceedings instituted by the Occupying Power against protected persons in respect of charges involving the death penalty or imprisonment for two years or more; it shall be enabled, at any time, to obtain information regarding the state of such proceedings. Furthermore, the Protecting Power shall be entitled, on request, to be furnished with all particulars of these and of any other proceedings instituted by the Occupying Power against protected persons.

The notification to the Protecting Power, as provided for in the second paragraph above, shall be sent immediately, and shall in any case reach the Protecting Power three weeks before the date of the first hearing. Unless, at the opening of the trial, evidence is submitted that the provisions of this Article are fully complied with, the trial shall not proceed. The notification shall include the following particulars:

a) description of the accused;

b) place of residence or detention;

c) specification of the charge or charges (with mention of thepenal provisions under which it is brought);

d) designation of the court which will hear the case;

e) place and date of the first hearing.” (Article 71 of GCIV)

“Grave breaches to which the preceding Article relates shall be those involving any of the following acts, if committed against persons or property protected by the present Convention: […] compelling a protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile Power, or wilfully depriving a protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial prescribed in the present Convention, taking of hostages and extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly.” (Article 147 of GCIV)

The RCJE President Selig Tsai may be attacked or kidnaped or “Enforced Disappearance” by Occupying Power United States and its USAF-CRAG at any time.

I have the honour to reassure the Geneva Conventions of 1949 of my highest esteem.
