pro-democracy activist

The government lawyer asked these questions, of Mr. B, from Burma:
-Tell me about your international travel: you lived in Japan?
What was your immigration status in Japan?
Did you enter Japan with a tourist visa?
What did you apply for, in Japan?
Why didn't you apply for asylum there?
Who says only 1% of asylum applicants win asylum in Japan?
Did you violate laws in Japan? did you work without a work permit?
Why did you leave Japan?
=
What happened upon your arrival at the airport in your country?
did you have a passport?
Your father knew you were arriving, so he got to airport early and paid extortion money to officer? Do you mean he paid a bribe? how much did he pay?
=
Where did you go, after leaving the airport?
How many times were you arrested in your country? Two times?
Where were you, at the moment of your first arrest?
You were at your house? who else was at the house at that time?
Your mother was there? why didn't she write a letter, describing what happened at the time of your arrest?
Why were you arrested?
How long were you detained? Why were you released? what happened on the day of your release, while you were inside the prison?
After being released, where did you go?
Why didn't you go to the hospital, if you were so badly injured?
=
Where were you, at them moment of your arrest, when you were arrested the second time?
Who else was there, at that time?
Why were you arrested?
Why were you released?
Where did you go, after being released?
=
11 months later, you departed from your country?
Why the long delay? why didn't you flee immediately?
=
You say you have protested often, here in USA, in front of your Embassy?
Your protesting here might cause problems for your wife?
If so, why do you protest? don't you care about your wife?
=
Does your government know that you protest? do they care if you protest, or are they bored by it?
How do you know what your government thinks about your protesting?
did someone call you on the phone and tell you something?
You say your government knows that you protest, and that they are angry at you, becausse your protesting is embarrassing to them?
-your government is so embarrassed, and so angry at you, that what? They went to your wife's house and hit her on the head? NO? they did nothing to your wife? So, isn't that evidence that your government does not know, or does not care, what you do here in USA?
