QUESTION

Have Salif and Babakar applied for asylum and was it influenced by city communication?

Salif and Babakar applied for asylum, not due to city shelter service communication, but from their own rights awareness.

  • They have applied for asylum.
  • The application process did not occur within the shelters.
  • Their decision to apply was out of awareness of their rights, not because of information provided by the shelters.
  • The city's role in influencing their asylum application process is indirectly questioned, indicating no direct influence.

We both applied.

And was that a result of the city saying that this was an available service at the shelter?
UNKNOWN

So we just apply for asylum because we know we have the rights to, but we haven't done that in the shelters.
