- 00:46:16,135 --> 00:46:19,494
- Most days, we only
- had two or three.
- 665
- 00:46:19,496 --> 00:46:21,478
- Did you receive any support
- from the government?
- 666
- 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,269
- The Taliban? No.
- 667
- 00:46:23,271 --> 00:46:27,016
- Asefa, what happened
- on April 9th?
- 668
- 00:46:28,967 --> 00:46:31,782
- The students,
- the other teacher, and I
- 669
- 00:46:31,784 --> 00:46:33,351
- walked to class together.
- 670
- 00:46:33,353 --> 00:46:35,942
- Why did you do that?
- 671
- 00:46:35,944 --> 00:46:39,910
- To show them we didn't care
- what they thought.
- 672
- 00:46:39,912 --> 00:46:41,958
- And what happened then?
- 673
- 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,357
- Some men
- from outside the village
- 674
- 00:46:44,359 --> 00:46:45,926
- started throwing dirt.
- 675
- 00:46:45,928 --> 00:46:48,198
- Then the police came.
- 676
- 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,216
- I was arrested.
- 677
- 00:46:51,689 --> 00:46:53,478
- You spent the night in jail?
- 678
- 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,784
- I know. Calm yourself.
- 679
- 00:46:56,968 --> 00:47:00,006
- You spent the night in jail.
- 680
- 00:47:00,008 --> 00:47:02,886
- You must use words,
- Miss Ashwari.
- 681
- 00:47:02,888 --> 00:47:04,073
- Yes.
- 682
- 00:47:05,641 --> 00:47:07,977
- What's the next thing
- you remember?
- 683
- 00:47:12,585 --> 00:47:14,696
- Waking up at the clinic.
- 684
- 00:47:23,721 --> 00:47:24,839
- Your witness.
- 685
- 00:47:24,841 --> 00:47:26,152
- Your Honor, if I may.
- 686
- 00:47:26,154 --> 00:47:28,550
- I have a few questions first.
- 687
- 00:47:28,552 --> 00:47:32,521
- Miss Ashwari, you loved
- your mother very much.
- 688
- 00:47:33,641 --> 00:47:34,920
- Yes.
- 689
- 00:47:34,922 --> 00:47:36,839
- That's why you returned
- to your village.
- 690
- 00:47:36,841 --> 00:47:38,983
- Yes.
- 691
- 00:47:38,985 --> 00:47:41,223
- You stayed on, you say,
- 692
- 00:47:41,225 --> 00:47:43,847
- because your father was sad
- after her death.
- 693
- 00:47:43,849 --> 00:47:45,737
- Yes.
- 694
- 00:47:47,018 --> 00:47:49,704
- You must love your father
- very much.
- 695
- 00:47:49,706 --> 00:47:51,112
- I do.
- 696
- 00:47:51,114 --> 00:47:53,032
- You love your brothers?
- 697
- 00:47:53,034 --> 00:47:54,535
- Yes.
- 698
- 00:47:54,537 --> 00:47:56,008
- And yet...
- 699
- 00:47:56,010 --> 00:47:58,826
- you apply for asylum
- in the United States.
- 700
- 00:48:00,298 --> 00:48:02,760
- You must know
- that if it is granted,
- 701
- 00:48:02,762 --> 00:48:05,031
- you will never see
- any of them again.
- 702
- 00:48:05,033 --> 00:48:07,528
- Not your brothers,
- not your father.
- 703
- 00:48:07,530 --> 00:48:09,223
- Yet you say you love them.
- 704
- 00:48:09,225 --> 00:48:11,849
- I do.
- I'm going to visit them.
- 705
- 00:48:16,618 --> 00:48:17,994
- Someday.
- 706
- 00:48:20,394 --> 00:48:22,568
- I hope to visit them someday
- 707
- 00:48:22,570 --> 00:48:26,154
- when there is no threat
- of persecution.
- 708
- 00:48:29,290 --> 00:48:32,904
- Nice save, Ms. Wood.
- You coached your client well.
- 709
- 00:48:32,906 --> 00:48:35,304
- Benjamin, you may proceed
- with your cross.
- 710
- 00:48:35,306 --> 00:48:36,936
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- 711
- 00:48:36,938 --> 00:48:40,648
- Miss Ashwari, you were
- very brave to testify today.
- 712
- 00:48:40,650 --> 00:48:43,563
- I thank you for keeping
- your testimony truthful.
- 713
- 00:48:45,450 --> 00:48:49,288
- You don't remember everything
- that happened that day, do you?
- 714
- 00:48:49,290 --> 00:48:50,537
- No, I don't.
- 715
- 00:48:50,539 --> 00:48:52,329
- Why is that?
- 716
- 00:48:52,331 --> 00:48:55,273
- Because I suffer from
- post traumatic stress disorder.
- 717
- 00:48:55,275 --> 00:48:58,153
- You're not going to object
- that she's not an expert?
- 718
- 00:48:58,155 --> 00:49:00,073
- I accept
- Miss Ashwari's expertise
- 719
- 00:49:00,075 --> 00:49:02,921
- in the state of her own mind.
- 720
- 00:49:02,923 --> 00:49:05,993
- Miss Ashwari, now, you said that
- men from outside your village
- 721
- 00:49:05,995 --> 00:49:07,465
- threw dirt at you.
- 722
- 00:49:07,467 --> 00:49:09,225
- Yes.
- 723
- 00:49:09,227 --> 00:49:11,529
- Were those the same men
- who arrested you?
- 724
- 00:49:11,531 --> 00:49:12,489
- No.
- 725
- 00:49:12,491 --> 00:49:14,089
- They weren't police?
- 726
- 00:49:14,091 --> 00:49:15,241
- There were just random guys?
- 727
- 00:49:15,243 --> 00:49:16,650
- They weren't in uniform?
- 728
- 00:49:16,652 --> 00:49:17,865
- Yes.
- 729
- 00:49:17,867 --> 00:49:19,369
- And the dirt they threw at you
- 730
- 00:49:19,371 --> 00:49:21,225
- was actually hard-packed
- lumps of clay.
- 731
- 00:49:21,227 --> 00:49:22,729
- Yes.
- 732
- 00:49:22,731 --> 00:49:24,681
- You testified
- that you remember waking up
- 733
- 00:49:24,683 --> 00:49:26,537
- at the hospital the next day.
- 734
- 00:49:26,539 --> 00:49:29,578
- Do you remember your injuries?
- 735
- 00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:31,243
- Yes.
- 736
- 00:49:32,524 --> 00:49:34,569
- You had injuries to your face,
- 737
- 00:49:34,571 --> 00:49:35,818
- bruised ribs,
- 738
- 00:49:35,820 --> 00:49:37,706
- and a concussion.
- 739
- 00:49:37,708 --> 00:49:39,498
- Yes.
- 740
- 00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:41,356
- Any other injuries?
- 741
- 00:49:45,771 --> 00:49:50,028
- Do you remember anything
- of the night you spent in jail?
- 742
- 00:49:52,715 --> 00:49:53,644
- No.
- 743
- 00:49:54,892 --> 00:49:56,683
- Then how can you be sure
- these injuries
- 744
- 00:49:56,685 --> 00:49:57,898
- were caused by the police?
- 745
- 00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,330
- You testify your PTSD
- makes it hard
- 746
- 00:50:00,332 --> 00:50:01,514
- for you to remember that day.
- 747
- 00:50:01,516 --> 00:50:03,209
- Objection, badgering.
- 748
- 00:50:03,211 --> 00:50:05,002
- - Your Honor.
- - Overruled.
- 749
- 00:50:05,004 --> 00:50:07,530
- Weren't all these injuries
- caused not by the police,
- 750
- 00:50:07,532 --> 00:50:11,052
- but by those random men
- who threw lumps at you?
- 751
- 00:50:13,164 --> 00:50:15,532
- No answer?
- 752
- 00:50:17,133 --> 00:50:20,971
- I have only
- one more point to make.
- 753
- 00:50:20,973 --> 00:50:24,426
- Miss Ashwari,
- do you remember your arrest?
- 754
- 00:50:24,428 --> 00:50:26,058
- Yes.
- 755
- 00:50:26,060 --> 00:50:28,651
- You testified you were arrested
- at a demonstration.
- 756
- 00:50:28,653 --> 00:50:32,075
- Yes. I was arrested because
- I wanted everyone to know
- 757
- 00:50:32,077 --> 00:50:35,181
- that girls
- should think for themselves.
- 758
- 00:50:38,285 --> 00:50:40,747
- Your Honor,
- 759
- 00:50:40,749 --> 00:50:42,731
- counsel,
- 760
- 00:50:42,733 --> 00:50:47,147
- I draw your attention
- to exhibit B,
- 761
- 00:50:47,149 --> 00:50:50,987
- the warrant for Asefa Ashwari's
- arrest on April 9th.
- 762
- 00:50:50,989 --> 00:50:52,587
- Objection, Your Honor.
- 763
- 00:50:52,589 --> 00:50:55,307
- Prosecution hasn't shared
- any of this evidence with me.
- 764
- 00:50:55,309 --> 00:50:56,396
- Prosecution?
- 765
- 00:50:56,398 --> 00:50:58,252
- This is not a criminal court.
- 766
- 00:50:58,254 --> 00:51:00,267
- And those are not
- the rules of evidence
- 767
- 00:51:00,269 --> 00:51:02,187
- in this courtroom, Ms. Wood.
- 768
- 00:51:02,189 --> 00:51:05,387
- My apology, Your Honor.
- Apologies to counsel.
- 769
- 00:51:05,389 --> 00:51:08,684
- But this? This is not something
- I could have access to.
- 770
- 00:51:08,686 --> 00:51:10,892
- I only obtained it
- in an effort to corroborate
- 771
- 00:51:10,894 --> 00:51:13,355
- Miss Ashwari's claims
- of persecution.
- 772
- 00:51:13,357 --> 00:51:15,371
- Objection overruled.
- Proceed.
- 773
- 00:51:15,373 --> 00:51:18,027
- The warrant states that
- you were arrested on April 9th,
- 774
- 00:51:18,029 --> 00:51:19,532
- just as you said,
- 775
- 00:51:19,534 --> 00:51:21,835
- but it doesn't mention
- any demonstration.
- 776
- 00:51:21,837 --> 00:51:23,915
- Your Honor, counsel should
- not be allowed to argue
- 777
- 00:51:23,917 --> 00:51:25,101
- that my client
- on the one hand
- 778
- 00:51:25,103 --> 00:51:26,892
- was injured
- at the demonstration,
- 779
- 00:51:26,894 --> 00:51:29,484
- and then on the other that the
- demonstration never happened.
- 780
- 00:51:29,486 --> 00:51:30,444
- Do you have an objection?
- 781
- 00:51:30,446 --> 00:51:32,491
- My objection is logic.
- 782
- 00:51:32,493 --> 00:51:33,708
- That is not a legal objection.
- 783
- 00:51:33,710 --> 00:51:35,275
- And that's not what I'm saying.
- 784
- 00:51:35,277 --> 00:51:39,372
- There was a demonstration,
- and there was an arrest.
- 785
- 00:51:39,374 --> 00:51:41,996
- But Miss Ashwari wasn't
- persecuted because of it.
- 786
- 00:51:41,998 --> 00:51:46,831
- Ms. Wood, if you would please
- show Miss Ashwari exhibit B.

- would you please read
- the name of the informant?

- Yes.
- 837
- 00:54:50,290 --> 00:54:52,368
- And if her dickhead father
- asked for her to be arrested...
- 838
- 00:54:52,370 --> 00:54:55,120
- Jesus Christ, not even my dad's
- that big of a prick...
- 839
- 00:54:55,122 --> 00:54:57,808
- then she wasn't singled out
- for her politics.

- That's the whole of it.
- Thoughts?
- 841
- 00:55:01,202 --> 00:55:04,113
- It's her fault if she loses.
- 842
- 00:55:04,115 --> 00:55:06,384
- I'm sorry, but if
- she doesn't have the cojones
- 843
- 00:55:06,386 --> 00:55:07,569
- to say what really happened

- Would you tell your friends?
- Would you tell me?
- 847

- Yes. A lot wouldn't send

- They thought I would
- teach them to be like me.

- I learned that clients

- are a way to get the things
- that he really wants.
- 1160

- being a woman who thinks

- A very highly respected one.
- 1175
- 01:16:08,204 --> 01:16:10,922
- Asefa told me everything.
- 1176
- 01:16:10,924 --> 01:16:12,970
- I was wrong about you.

- Omar, Ray is your lawyer.
- 1181
- 01:16:23,789 --> 01:16:25,483
- This is for Asefa.
- 1182

- You haven't been paid anything

- 1183

- I knew that
- when I accepted the case,

- and you need this money

- No more legal fees.

- And I never will.

- To stay silent?
- 1202
- 01:17:35,438 --> 01:17:36,621
- Yes.
- 1203
- 01:17:39,245 --> 01:17:42,061
- But Asefa is stronger than me.
- 1204
- 01:17:42,063 --> 01:17:44,940
- And now she will be deported
- 1205

- to be killed by her father
- and her brothers.
- 1206

- You lost the case.
- 1207
- 01:17:49,327 --> 01:17:51,020
- She'll lose her life,
- 1208
- 01:17:51,022 --> 01:17:53,581

- Just like Asefa,
- and for the same reason.
- 1216
- 01:18:24,783 --> 01:18:28,045
- She wasn't raped
- for being a woman,
- 1217
- 01:18:28,047 --> 01:18:30,220
- She just happened
- to be a woman.
- 1218
- 01:18:30,222 --> 01:18:32,142
- She was raped
- because she was a threat.
- 1219
- 01:18:34,031 --> 01:18:37,005
- The Law of Asylum doesn't
- specifically protect women,
- 1220
- 01:18:37,007 --> 01:18:38,797
- but they didn't do it
- because she was a woman.
- 1221
- 01:18:38,799 --> 01:18:40,461
- They did it
- because she was dangerous.
- 1222
- 01:18:40,463 --> 01:18:42,381
- They raped Asefa
- because she voiced
- 1223

- unpopular political opinions.
- 1224
- 01:18:43,823 --> 01:18:45,581
- - About women.
- - No, that doesn't matter.
- 1225

- The law covers
- all unpopular views.

- 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,159
- - So the judge was wrong.
- - Very wrong.

- We have a compelling basis
- for an appeal.

- is that if a woman
- fights for her rights,
- 1440

- and women are
- one half the population.
- 1446
- 01:33:27,841 --> 01:33:29,759
- The law applies
- to persecuted groups.
- 1447
- 01:33:29,761 --> 01:33:32,639
- Even large majorities
- can be persecuted,
- 1448

- in apartheid
- South Africa, for example.
- 1449
- 01:33:34,625 --> 01:33:37,824

- to an international treaty

- 01:34:56,803 --> 01:34:58,273
- then she's protected
- by the law.
- 1485
- 01:34:58,275 --> 01:35:00,162
- And did they in this case?
- 1486
- 01:35:00,164 --> 01:35:01,921
- Without question, Your Honors.
- 1487
- 01:35:01,923 --> 01:35:05,538
- Miss Ashwari was not persecuted
- randomly for being a woman.
- 1488
- 01:35:05,540 --> 01:35:08,321
- She was specifically targeted
- for what she stood for.
- 1489
- 01:35:08,323 --> 01:35:10,658
- A warrant was issued
- by the government
- 1490
- 01:35:10,660 --> 01:35:14,178
- for her arrest
- for crimes against God.
- 1491
- 01:35:14,180 --> 01:35:16,450
- The Taliban
- had enacted into law
- 1492
- 01:35:16,452 --> 01:35:18,530
- a twisted version of Islam.
- 1493
- 01:35:18,532 --> 01:35:21,058
- It was this law
- that the police were enforcing
- 1494
- 01:35:21,060 --> 01:35:23,106
- by beating and raping her,
- 1495
- 01:35:23,108 --> 01:35:25,729
- which, by the way, is
- tantamount to a death sentence
- 1496
- 01:35:25,731 --> 01:35:28,227
- in an area
- rife with honor killings.
- 1497
- 01:35:28,229 --> 01:35:32,514
- It is that law that Miss Ashwari
- opposed with her actions,
- 1498
- 01:35:32,516 --> 01:35:34,465
- with her teachings,
- with her love,
- 1499
- 01:35:34,467 --> 01:35:36,579
- with every fiber of her being.
- 1500
- 01:35:36,581 --> 01:35:38,082
- As a woman,
- as her mother's daughter,
- 1501
- 01:35:38,084 --> 01:35:39,395
- as a teacher of girls,
- 1502
- 01:35:39,397 --> 01:35:43,492
- she was the definition
- of a political activist.
- 1503
- 01:35:52,068 --> 01:35:56,067
- Ms. Wood, you are asking us
- to reverse an opinion
- 1504
- 01:35:56,069 --> 01:35:58,595
- of not just
- one respected judge,
- 1505
- 01:35:58,597 --> 01:36:01,506
- but of every judge
- who decided a similar case.
- 1506
- 01:36:01,508 --> 01:36:04,483
- The law does not protect women
- as a class,
- 1507
- 01:36:04,485 --> 01:36:06,945
- but it shouldn't
- sacrifice us either.
- 1508
- 01:36:06,947 --> 01:36:09,826
- So all those judges,
- every one of them, are wrong.
- 1509
- 01:36:09,828 --> 01:36:12,068
- Yes, all those judges are wrong.
- 1510
- 01:36:14,245 --> 01:36:16,516
- But you don't have to be.
- 1511
- 01:36:50,149 --> 01:36:51,109
