If you are outside your country of origin and are afraid to return because you fear serious harm due to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group, or if you risk cruel or unusual punishment, torture, or death, you have the right to seek asylum. Asylum allows you to stay in a specific country instead of being deported to a place where you fear persecution or harm.

When you can no longer rely on your own country for protection, you can request protection from the country you are currently in, under international refugee law. This is known as seeking asylum. Refugee law comprises the rules, norms, and standards, generally accepted among nations, that address the rights and responsibilities of nation-states regarding refugees. In simpler terms, it's a body of international laws, along with various international, regional, and national legal instruments, that establishes standards for protecting refugees.

If this situation applies to you, you can apply for asylum with the authorities in the country you are currently in.
