English term

Asylum Seeker

How can I say Asylum Seekers?

Proposed translations

Selected

طالب لجوء

لجوء

Means exactly and asylum seeker .. and not every asylum seeker is a political asylum seeker according to the 1951 Geneva Convention and its' amending protocol for year 1967; as there are five grounds for asylum seeking: political, race, religious, being a member of a social group or nationality.

Thus the best exact match would be "طالب لجوء "

Pronounce: Talib Leju, but not Essayasy .. as Essayasy means political; and as I explained earlier the political persecution is only one of the asylum seeking grounds
