how brave will you be, if you return?

Ms. Edu, from Nigeria, joined a Youth Association in her country. She went to meetings, she wrote letters to politicians and to military officers, and she marched in the street carrying a big, anti-government sign. Her government beat her up, and put her into prison.
She arrived here in USA in 1989, which is 21 years ago. She applied for asylum and told the judge: "If I return to my country, I will protest even more. Things are now worse in my country. Two of my cousins were killed; I have nothing to live for."
The Judge ruled against her; she appealed to the Ninth Circuit in the year 2010.

The Ninth Circuit court ruled in her favor; saying that protesting for political rights is good. Ms. Edu said she would protest; we believe her. Maybe she deserves asylum.
