Applying for asylum is HARD, and every time I hear about people who have successfully claimed asylum or who have some interim status being taken, I flinch at the sheer weight of paperwork that people have submitted to because the fear for their lives was so stark.

Does it matter to the court that people who are tortured and subjected to this kind of persecution are known to have psychological issues tracking time while it happens? No.
Your statement is inconsistent and therefore you are not credible.

And you need someone to go through your statement with a finetooth comb to make sure is consistent. Otherwise, you will get your claim denied because at one point you said you were in solitary confinement for a month and another you said it was for five weeks.

Those reams of evidence must be obtained from a hostile regime, and hostile regimes very often do not say “oh yeah, we totally took that guy and tortured him.”

People need to provide reams of documentary evidence: hundreds of pages demonstrating that you, personally, were subject to persecution because of your religion or political beliefs or whatever form of asylum you’re claiming.

The asylum process is horrific. People need lawyers to navigate it successfully, which is incredibly costly. One of the reason you need lawyers is because the slightest inconsistency in your story will be interpreted as you not telling the truth.
