activist from Cameroon loses

Mr. Bassenguen, from Cameroon, was denied asylum by the Judge and by the BIA, because: 1]after he was arrested, imprisoned, and released in 2002, he departed from his country, and then, he voluntarily returned! If your country is so dangerous, and your government hates you so much, why did you return there voluntarily? And by the way, upon your return, you were ignored? No one arrested you? They did not care about you? = So, that is what would happen if you return again, tomorrow, wouldn't it? [i.e., no one cares if you return or not? Your government does not care what you do or do not do, correct?] = 2] he testified he was arrested again in 2004. His friend wrote a letter, saying that the arrest was in 2005! Who is the moron, the client or the friend? 3] he testified he was an active member of the SDF here in the USA, and that he attended lots of meetings in the year 2009. He asked Mr. Kuissu to be a witness in court. Mr. Kuissu said that he, Kuissu, was active in SDF meetings in the year 2009, but he never saw Bassenguen at meetings, and he did not believe that Massenguen was a member of SDF. = Who is the moron, Mr. Kuissu, or Bassenguen? What did the Judge think when presented with this spectacle? = What is the moral of the story? 1] if you were arrested in 2004, find a friend who agrees with you about the year. 2] if you think you were active in meetings in the USA, find a friend who agrees with you. If you are a lawyer reading this, what do you learn? 1] some clients are not very smart 2] some clients are too busy to read letters, or talk to witnesses, before coming to court
