Video Message 1: Claudio Peña
Messages from Refugees/Undocumented Immigrants in Japan, for World Refugee Day 2020
Language: Japanese and English
Subtitle: English
Edited by SYI
(May 2020)
Claudio Peña is a cook working in Japan for many years.
He lost visa in 2011, and was detained by the immigration twice.
The second detention reached 2 years and a half in April 2020.
Claudio Peña had worked as a cook since entering Japan in Jan. 1996.
In the end of 2010, he left his previous workplace to work at a new restaurant to be established by his Japanese friend.
However, the 2011 great earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster made the Japanese friend decide to give up his plan and leave Japan.
Claudio Peña looked for a workplace, but he couldn’t find any.
Immigration Bureau did not extend his period of residence.
Peña was thus made undocumented and detained by the immigration.
Claudio Peña was over fifty then. He cannot return to Chile.
He has neither expectation to establish life again in Chile, nor family to support him after his return.
Moreover, Claudio Peña is a refugee.
During the 1973 Chilean coup, Claudio’s father was forced to help with the army’s persecution of activists and massacre.
After the democratization in 1990, the father reported what he had done to the Truth Commission.
However, this provoked hostility both from the right and the left.
The whole family became the target of right-wing persecution.
As the result, Peña’s family was forced to live separately.
Despite that, one night in 1992 in Santiago, Claudio Peña was abducted by unidentified attackers.
He was taken outside the city, beaten up, and seriously injured.
In the hospital, he had to keep the reason secret from the doctor
in order to avoid further persecution.
Claudio Peña had to leave Chile.
He initially flied to Europe, where he met a Japanese
who asked him to work his restaurant in Japan.
It is so cruel and unfair that Immigration Bureau ignores all the reasons above but order him deportation.
Besides cooking, Claudio Peña is also good at drawing.
He made many artworks describing what happened in East Japan Immigration Center.
When a detainee and named Deniz attempted suicide, Claudio drew the incident in a picture, with a message that he should be released immediately.
This shocking drawing attracted public attention.
Claudio Peña is so a kind person.
In spite of his own difficulties, he often helps other detainees.
For example, he shares his possessions with others.
He negotiated with the officers patiently for immediate medication for his friend Deniz when he suffered from toothache.
It is the time for him to be released.
(June 17, 2020, two weeks after his release from immigration detention)
Hi, I am PEÑA Claudio.
I live in Japan for 25 years.
I lost my visa.
It’s so tough, but ….
I have now so many people to support me.
I really, really appreciate it.
And … I will do my best to be recognized as a refugee.
Japan’s asylum process is considerably strict, but I won’t give up, although it’s so tough to live under the status of Provisional Release.
To all my supporters, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much to everybody for supporting me.
And … I want to say to all the refugees in the world: Just fight, just fight.
I wish you a success.
クラウディオ・ペニャさんによる、ドキュメンタリー映画「牛久」に関する手紙
私、クラウディオ・ペニャは、ドキュメンタリー映画「牛久」に出演することに同意しました。
これからも映画に出演することについて同意します。
しかし、ドキュメンタリーの撮影が終了してから起こったことが、私にとって多くの問題を引き起こしました。
そのことがあったから、もうこれ以上このドキュメンタリーについては話したくありません。
それらの問題は、私と監督との間の問題であり、我々の間のプライベートな問題です。
なので、これ以上私に対して、それらの問題について、何も聞かないでください。

本件について、ペニャさんにはもう何も聞かないでください。 彼は一連のできごとにより非常に強いストレスを受け、疲弊しています。彼のことを心配してくださる方も、恐縮ながら、どうかご遠慮ください。―― 同じ日にペニャさんは、柏崎（SYI）と、他のペニャさんの友人2名との前で、この問題にかんして彼に起きたことと彼が思うことについて説明しました。ペニャさんはその1人（柏崎ではない）に、彼の指示どおりに英語の手紙と、その日本語訳とを作成することを依頼し、できあがった手紙を承認しました。
Letter by Claudio Peña Regarding the Documentary Film Ushiku
I, Claudio Peña, agreed to be in the documentary film Ushiku.
I continue to give my consent to be in the film.
However, there were issues following the filming of the documentary that have caused me many problems.
Because of this I do not want to talk about this documentary anymore.
The issues are between the director and me, and these are private matters between us.
So please do not ask me about these matters anymore.
Claudio Peña
June 1st, 2021
--- On the same day, Claudio Peña explained what happened to him and what he thinks about this issue in front of M. Kashiwazaki (SYI) and two other friends of him (Peña). Peña requested one of them (not Kashiwazaki) to make an English letter and its Japanese translation following his direction, and then authorized them.
Please do not ask Peña about these matters anymore, even if you stand on his side. He is so exhausted. Thank you for your understanding.
ここ最近、ペニャさんの身の回りに起きたことについて、ペニャさんが手紙を書きました。
本件について、これ以上、ペニャさんに話をしないでください！ 今後、このことで、彼の意に反して彼に連絡をとろうとする、悪意ある人がもし出てくれば、支援会として対策を講じます。
最近、私を助けるためにコンタクトして下さったすべての方に、感謝しています。また、多くの人々から、私を侮辱する電話を受けました。私たちが違う方法をとるからと言って。
以前に何度も言った通りのことを、私はほんとうに望んでいます。あの『牛久』という映画については話したくありません。
誰もが尊重されるに値します。この映画に関係がある人も、そしてあなたたち全ても。そして私も、無益に消耗された精神的健康のために、尊重を受けることを求めます。
Free Cloud Penaの〔ウェブ〕ページにある私の手紙は削除します。とはいえ、それはなお、私の感じていることなのです。
これ以上、このことについて私は話したくありません！
