Burmese applicant #4

Questions from the government lawyer, to the pro-democracy activist from Burma:

Why did you protest in front of the Embassy? isn't it dangerous to protest?
you willingly put your family into danger?
Your government gave you a passport? they put stamps into it?
You flew from Rangoon to Bangkok? why not apply for asylum in Bangkok?
Then you flew to Narita airport, in Japan? why not apply for asylum in Japan?
What was your intent as you left your country? did you have a clear intent, or were you just confused and nervous?
=
You went to the US Embassy and asked for a visa?
what questions did they ask, and how did you answer? did you lie?
You told lies to the US official? why?
Why didn't your wife ask for a visa at the same time?
=
your father came to the USA, and then he returned home? he voluntarily returned to the country that you say is so dangerous? and, after his return, did he have any problems? so the country is not dangerous? if your father had no problems, why would you?
=
You say your government took your photograph while you were standing on the sidewalk in front of the Embassy. How would government know the guy in the baseball hat is you?
Does your government have spies and informants in the crowd?
=
what did you tell your wife about your plans? what was her response?
what did you tell your brother? what was his response?
your brother lives here in the USA and he refuses to help you? it is OK with him if you get sent back to the "dangerous" country? so, according to your brother, it is not really a dangerous country?
You had problems in the city of Monywa? OK, so, why not go live in the city of Rangoon? would you be safe in some other city?
