I submitted my written appeal which stated as a member of a political organization and no physical harm but only a warning from authorities issued to me that was what I also told them during my interview. In fact, I was physically harmed several times, it was just I was afraid to tell the truth because authorities threatened me before they let me go right after receiving bribe from my family. And now I got hearing what must I do?
