Am I missing something? Why are they not talking about the prefecture that he represented? Embarrassing?

”...also known as GaaSyy" = がじ。。。? Is this the same individual, currently being reported on the domestic Japanese news cycle?

Abuse of Interpol?

"I will not go back to Japan. I will not return to a world that is uptight," he said via an online platform.
Is Japan uptight?

Yeah, because his current home, the UAE, is real loosey goosey. You can do anything there! Well, except eat a ham sandwich, or look at porn, drink a beer in public, use profanity in public, kiss your spouse in public, have a same-sex relationship, criticize the government, and so on. Not uptight at all!

Who elects these people?

Put someone on international wanted list because sexual assault? Robbery? Homicide?
In Japan only for online defamation.

Seems like an abuse of power from the authorities. For online defamation? There is no real crime? Tokyo olympics? Dentsu?

The police (and JGov) response is certainly 'uptight'.

Japan needs more innovative guys like him and Horimon. No more dinosaurs…

He was elected via the proportional representation system, rather than as a candidate in a single seat constituency, so he doesn’t represent a specific locality.

The guy is a complete and utter lout who should never have run for office if he "didn't care" like he claims he doesn't when kicked out, and that he would never apologize to the people because "it's their fault for voting me in" and the like. Obviously he's being made an example of, but "who cares?"

Interpol for a crime with punishment of cash. 100,000JPY to be exact.

How is alleged defamation criminal and how does that warrant Interpol? Wouldn’t it be civil?
How about the all the Japanese mothers with arrest warrants on interpol who flouted Hague convention orders and are still living comfortably in Japan with their kids that Japan refuses to arrest?

Defamation can be both in Japan.

Defamation can be both civil and criminal in Japan.

I've been to Dubai. My brother and cousin live there. I had beers with my cousin and had sweet and sour pork in a mall.
You're confusing Dubai with Saudi and Iran. Different countries.

They also have gay bars there

You can if you have money and not a citizen of the UAE. Actually, only the first point really matters. The second one is not that important.

This guy is my new hero.
