City of Asylum is not a refugee organization; we do not have the resources to immediately remove a writer from a threatening situation. We have no authority or influence with government organizations and must abide by the laws and regulations of each country. We cannot guarantee placement in our programs. Therefore it is extremely important that all applicants pursue every option for safety available to them.
