  • Asylum officer questions June 2026 of a pro-democracy activist:
  • Did you suffer physical harm? How many times?
  • Were you threatened in your country? How many times? when was the first threat? what was the worst threat?
  • What was the total number of threats?
  • Some threats are face-to-face; some are over the phone; some are in emails or letters. How many of those?
  • Some threats are "in-direct:" If the soldier yells at your father, and tells him to make sure you go to the police station, that is a real threat to both father and you
  • = = = =
  • Tell me about the man who  yelled at you. What was he wearing? were there words or emblems or insignia on his shirt? What weapons did you see?
  • What words did he say? Were there any "implied" threats in his words?
  •  = = =
  • How do these threats affect you today?
  • The last threat was two years ago. Why would your government still want to hurt you today? They forgot about you, didn't they?
