Do you think I'm being dramatic?
I recently edited a newsletter for a refugee organization. One article in the newsletter was about a woman from a certain country in Asia. The woman had made many enemies there by speaking openly about her political opinions. It was becoming dangerous for her and her family. She was able to get out of the country, and was accepted as a refugee in Canada. But even in Canada there are some people from this woman's home country who are sympathetic to the woman's enemies. There is a risk that these people would target her.
Some of the information in the unedited article revealed the woman's country of origin and her former position. Someone reading the article could have identified her and found out where she lives. It was a simple matter to remove these references from the article, but it may make a difference for her safety.
