Kenney, while living in his native Kenya, led a boycott to protest his government's treatment of his fellow farmers. He was subsequently arrested and taken into the forest to be executed. This book, told by Kenney and his lawyer Philip G. Schrag from Kenney's own perspective, tells of his near-murder, imprisonment, and torture in Kenya; his remarkable escape to the United States; and the obstacle course of ordeals and proceedings he faced as U.S. government agencies sought to deport him to Kenya. A story of courage, love, perseverance, and legal strategy, Asylum Denied brings to life the human costs associated with our immigration laws and suggests reforms that are desperately needed to help other victims of human rights violations.ImmigrantsGovernment policyUnited StatesPolitical refugeesGovernment policyUnited StatesCivil rightsUnited StatesHuman rightsUnited StatesPolitical refugeesUnited StatesBiographyacademic.african immigrant.asylum.attempted murder.courage.crime.deportation.escape.farmers.farming.hard times.homeland.human rights violations.human rights.immigrant stories.immigration law.immigration reform.immigration.imprisonment.kenya.kenyan immigrant.legal issues.legal strategy.life story.murder.native land.political refugee.political.prisoner.refugee story.scholarly.torture.true story.united states.us government.ImmigrantsGovernment policyPolitical refugeesGovernment policyCivil rightsHuman rightsPolitical refugees323.6/31BKenney David Ngaruri1973-1618197Schrag Philip G.1943-1618198MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810625403321Asylum denied3949794UNINA$28.0007/24/2015Poli
