Governor Lolo who is wrapping up his first term as governor said at his final cabinet meeting last week that the quality of education in American Samoa needs to be improved.

He said he had informed both the Attorney General Talauega, Utu Abe Malae, and the Director of Human Resources Le'i Sonny Thompson, that the educational system must be reformed.

Governor Lolo said fresh ideas were needed to run the Department of Education although he had not yet decided on whether to select a person or a group to deal with the Department of Education.

The Guardian reports that Ali, an Iranian asylum-seeker who goes by the pen name Eaten Fish, has had his refugee claim rejected and been told he must return to Iran, despite severe mental illness and Iran refusing to accept asylum seekers who are forcibly repatriated.

In a letter dated 17 October, Papua New Guinea's minister for foreign affairs and immigration told 25-year-old Ali, who goes by the pen name Eaten Fish, that a final decision had been made to reject his application for refugee status.

The Guardian said the letter informed Ali he was now in the country unlawfully and would be detained indefinitely - until he either left voluntarily or was forcibly removed.

Janet Galbraith, an Australian poet and and human rights worker who advocates for Ali, told The Guardian the status determination process was a sham, since Ali was too ill to be able to take part in the interviews and was unable to fully explain his trauma to the authorities.

Galbraith said Ali suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and severe obsessive compulsive disorder that causes him to wash himself until he bleeds and that his anxiety is so severe he sometimes collapses.

She also added Ali cannot speak publicly about his reasons for seeking asylum for fear that his family in Iran will suffer retribution and the negative assessment needs to be overturned, since the process was not fair.
