You're smiling as you say that.
I see the fire in your eye.
Yeah, good evening.
Halsani's claim is so strong because he's been subjected to violent and clear-cut political persecution.
In 2023, he was at an anti-government protest when a group of state security agents arrested him.
They beat him unconscious.
He woke up hours later in a jail cell, covered in blood.
He was held for about a week, and before he could leave, the agents took his photograph and threatened him.
If they saw him at another protest, they'd kill him.
Alseni and Andrea spend almost three months putting together the evidence for his asylum case.
He shares the details of his story, and then Andrea tries to run down the evidence.
That means calling Alseni's sister and mother back in Guinea so they can work the bureaucracy there to get key documents, medical records, witness statements.
All the while, Alseni is stuck in Moshenen, where he lives in a room with men from all over the world, each of them in some kind of limbo.
Al-Saini falls in with a guy from Sudan.
When they can use the recreation yard, the two of them walk around, talking.
The other man has lived in the U.S.
for decades.
They speak in English.
This is how Al-Saini begins to learn the language.
