Hi, people
I'm doing research for a friend and i'd be very grateful if you could give me any information related to the subject of my post. any information, personal experience, web links are good.
I'm interested in how genuine asylum seekers are treated, i mean iraqi interpreters who face persecution in their country because of their work for the american army. I'd like to know, if they have proofs like threatening letters, and go legally with passport, tourist visa to a country and can proove their situation, are they detained till their case is analyzed in Switzerland? I'm talking about people who really are in danger and can proove it, so what can they expect at the arrival in Switzerland? how are they helped?
I'm looking forward for your replies, thank you

If you ask me, the whole asylum laws are a farce.

are you asking about asylum seekers in general or just the ones who are or have been Iraqi interpreters?

Confused of EF

I'm asking about iraqi interpreters who worked for the US army and are threatened in their country because of their job.

ah so they're not asylum seekers after all, just threatened in Iraqi.

Sorry, I don't know any.

It an interesting question though, whether such workers that perhaps assisted or worked for the coalition forces would be favourably treated if they sought asylum in such a country and argued that it was the fault of that country that they are in jeopardy.
