doctoral student who breached security at the Newark Liberty International
Airport in the United States will appear in the Newark municipal court on the
morning of Jan. 28, a court official told China Daily on Tuesday.
Jiang Haisong, 28, was arrested last Friday evening by US port authorities
and released after hours of questioning. Jiang ducked a security barrier in the
airport’s terminal C on Jan. 3 to bid farewell to his girlfriend after a
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guard stepped away from his post
momentarily. The three terminals at the airport were
subsequently shut down for six hours after a bystander who witnessed the
incidence notified TSA officials. The shutdown reportedly caused numerous
flights delays in and out of Newark, stranding thousands of passengers.
Jiang, a molecular biosciences student who is set to graduate
in May, had contacted the Chinese consulate in New York on Monday by phone, said
Wang Bangfu, the consul for overseas Chinese affairs at the consulate. Wang told
China Daily on Tuesday that the consulate is providing consular protection and
assistance to Jiang after identifying him as a Chinese national. These include
providing a list of lawyers, which Jiang is selecting for his case. Wang would
not reveal more details because Jiang had requested for the content of their
conversation to be kept private. But Wang said the consulate has been keeping a
close eye on the development. Wang did not comment further on the case until
final investigation results were out, implying that the consulate will work to
ensure Jiang gets a fair trial and his legal rights are fully protected.
Under the charge of defiant trespassing brought by the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, Jiang faces a 30-day imprisonment and a
fine of $ 500. But New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg had earlier pushed for
harsh punishment, threatening to lobby for severe federal criminal charges
instead of a misdemeanor. Lautenberg also earlier mentioned visa
revocation and deportation, but has since toned down his comments on the case in
the last few days. The incidence has triggered strong reaction
among people both in the US and China. A number of these have accused Jiang of a
"stupid" blunder. Others have hailed him as a kind of hero for exposing a
glaring airport security loophole. While more people on the Chinese mainland
expressed their disappointment at Jiang for bringing disgrace to the Chinese
community, his American neighbors and fellow colleagues at Rutgers University
showed more understanding and described him in much nicer words.
