an activist from Burma

The Asylum Officer asked:
-when was passport issued? when re-newed? doesn't everyone have to pay bribes to get a passport? did you have to pay extra bribes?
-you say you lived in Thailand for seven years? what was your status there? were you "firmly resettled" there?
Why did you depart from Thailand?
What were your activites here in USA?
why did you protest in front of the White House?
Why do you think your government knows that you protested in front of White House?
How many people attended the protest?
How did you get there? how did you get home?
=
did you join even one organization here in USA?
do you have a membership card?
can anyone join, if they want?
Tell me the name of one member of that organization.
Tell me the name of one other person who protested in front of the Embassy.
What else did you do, besides stand on the sidewalk for one hour?
Why did you join that organization?
What else do they do, besides stand on sidewalk with large signs?
How did it happen, that you became a member?
=
how would your government know about your activities?
You say they have a lot of spies? who says?
Tell me about each of your brothers and sisters. How come none of them is in prison now?
=
what would happen if you return to your counry?
You had problems in City #1? OK, so go live in City #2 or #3! Why are those cities unsafe?
=
who took the photos of you, while you were protesting? why did he take those photos?
Is there anything else?
