"Clearly" you are not in a position to know what I have read.
I have in mind the woman from Juarez who (no fault of hers) was a member of a family engaged in the illegal pharmacy trade conducted by gangs, and feared for her life after her husband was killed. She sought refugee status in Canada, but the (incredibly uninformed) judge denied her application, said the Mexican police were efficient and would protect her; she was forcibly removed to Mexico. As she feared, it was not long before she too was killed.
The concept of "safe place" is comforting to the naive but does not reflect the reality of the world in which we live. How safe is Westminster Bridge?
