Poll question: North American seeking asylum fails to not convince Portuguese authorities
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 11:14 PM by struggle4progress
The Portuguese authorities do not believe .. the man who says he has worked for National Security Agency .. and the CIA, and rejected the appeal. The Portuguese Section of Amnesty International says .. is the first request for political asylum from a North American in Portugal ...

... The coordinator of the Office of Asylum and Refugees, Claudia Rocha, concluded on April 11, 2005, that the claim was "unfounded" and "unjustifiably submitted after the deadline", since its author was in Portugal since 2002

...An appeal to the National Commissioner for Refugees (CNR) had the same outcome on April 26, 2005 ...

The .. applicant for protection .. says his name is Kenneth Alan Turing, but presents a passport with the name Daniel Bates Jeffee. He claims he was born in New York, but the identification says Los Angeles, California ...

Norte-americano pede asilo luso e não convence autoridades

Por António Martins Neves, da Agência Lusa

... As autoridades portuguesas não acreditam nas alegações do homem que diz ter trabalhado para Agência Nacional de Segurança norte-americana (NSA, na sigla em inglês) e para a CIA, e rejeitaram o apelo. A Seção Portuguesa da Anistia Internacional diz que está “investigando o caso” e afirma que se trata do primeiro pedido de asilo político de um norte-americano em Portugal ...

A primeira rejeição ao pedido do norte-americano foi feita pelo Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras de Portugal (SEF), entidade encarregada de cuidar das solicitações de asilo. A coordenadora do Gabinete de Asilo e Refugiados, Cláudia Rocha, concluiu, em 11 de abril de 2005, que o pedido era "infundado” e “injustificadamente apresentado fora do prazo”, já que seu autor estava em Portugal desde 2002, de acordo com documentação a que a Agência Lusa teve acesso.

Um recurso apresentado ao Comissariado Nacional para os Refugiados (CNR) teve o mesmo desfecho, em 26 de abril de 2005. O presidente do organismo, o desembargador António Ferreira Neto, confirmou a determinação do SEF ...

As complicações já começam logo que o dossiê é aberto: o requerente da proteção do Estado Português diz se chamar Kennet Alan Turing, mas apresenta um passaporte com o nome de Daniel Bates Jeffee. Ele garante que nasceu em Nova York, mas na identificação consta Los Angeles, Califórnia ...
