  Questions asked of an activist from Senegal [October 2021]

How was your asylum application prepared?

You passed out pamphlets? what did the pamphlets say?

Did you try to recruit members to join the MFDC? is that group a "terrorist organization" according to the United States?

What is the process of joining? Fill out an application? supply references? pay money? have an interview?

Did your wife depart from the country you say is dangerous, and then return, voluntarily, there? She is not afraid of future harm, is she?

Your wife did not receive any threats? Your older brother lives there now, in peace?

What was your immigration status when you were in France?

The police in one city were angry at you? So, why not go live in City #2, or # 3? No one would find you in the far-away city, would they?

What other relatives now live safely in your country?

You say your government is angry at you, because you protested in USA? Do you know anyone who protested in USA, and then returned to the [dangerous] country, and got arrested?

Do you know of any "similarly-situated" people?
