activist from Bolivia

The Asylum Officer asked:
-who helped you to prepare your application?
when did you last leave your country?
when does passport expire?
do you have any family in USA?
Why did you miss the one-year deadline?
when did you decide to apply for asylum?
-you say Mr. X was corrupt? how did you find this out?
Does Mr. X know what you think? How would he find out what you were thinking privately inside your own head?
=
if you return to your country, what would happen? why would that happen?
Why did you leave your country?
What did the bad guys want? what did they say?
Why did they want you to leave the country?
What thoughts went through your mind, when you got the phone call?
Mr. X wanted to hurt you in the year 2008; but what about now? it is 2011, three years later- maybe he forgot about you?
You lived in City #1, and had problems? OK, so why not go live in City #2? or #3?
Is there anything else? yes, there is? what?
Is there anything else? What?
What is your favorite exhibit?
