questions for an activist from Cameroon

The Asylum Officer asked: 1] show me your passport! when was it issued; when does it expire; where and when did you travel? 2] why are you seeking asylum? 3]why did you join your political party? what is its platform? what are its goals? 4] what did you do at meetings, besides just sit in a chair, in silence? a] did you discuss alternatives for time and place of demonstrations? b] did you discuss and debate alternatives for fund-raising methods? = 5] tell me about the last three months you lived in your country. Where did you sleep, and travel, each day and nnight? 6] how did you get your visa? did you tell lies to get it? did you fill out a form, and answer questions in writing? I have a copy of your application for your visa, but you don't? I know more than you do about what happened? = how did you get your passport? how did you get out of your country? how come no one arrested you at the airport as you were leaving? How did you get your F-1 visa? = Is there anything else?
