lots of "why" questions, continued

The Asylum Officer asked more questions: why did you protest? how mant times did you protest in USA? why no protests in Burma? is it dangerous to protest in USA? so, then why did you protest? who is Professor Than? why did he protest? he said he wants to protest in Burma? and be sent to prison? why?

who organized the protests in USA? who did you protest with? how did you find out about the date of the next protest? what does "protest" mean? does it mean: stand on sidewalk, hold a big sign that says "free Burma" and you shout out words, such as "free burma"?

why was your brother arrested? how did government find out, about his activities?
Isn't it risky to send political materials to your brother in Burma? so why did you do it? why would you endanger your brother?

you say you protested in USA? do you have a letter of corroboration from another protester?
why did you decide to protest, in the first place? where was brother arrested? was he sentenced to prison? why do you say you don't know, when a letter from mother says he was sentenced? did you read the letter from mother? do you know the contents of your own application?
Did anything else happen to your brother?

If you return to your country, what would happen? why would that happen?
when you stood on the sidewalk protesting, how does the government know your name? is your passport photo on file with the government? so, they can compare passport photos with the people who protest?
Is there anything else?
anything else?
