Burundi #2

The Asylum officer asked:
-the police arrested you in 2005? one officer said he hated your ethnic group?
Why isn't that detail in your Declaration?
Was it because you were advised to keep the Declaration "short"?
Who gave you that advice? your lawyer? why?
=
CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR DECLARATION? as you talk to me, is the Declaration right here in front of me, and I read it as you talk?
-you say the rebels stole your cows? did you see the rebels steal the cows? did someone tell you the rebels stole the cows? does anyone agree with you, that the rebels stole your cows? your neighbor? why does he believe that?
-after that, were you mistreated as a member of your ethnic group?
=
when did you join the political party?
when did you first hear about that party?
What role did you play in the party?
did you fear that "infiltrators/spies/informers" also joined that party?
-what did you do, that a movie camera would film? if someone watched the video of you, with the sound off, what would they see?
-what did the President of your party do?
What was the platform of your party?
In your city, how many members were there? how many in the country?
What were the goals of your party? "to end corruption." Any other goals?
What did you do on election day?
One day, the police came to the polling station? why didn't you mention this in your two-page Declaration?
-
IF YOU CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID IN A TWO-PAGE DECLARATION, SHOULD WE MAKE YOUR DECLARATION JUST ONE PAGE LONG?
