Morristown, Tennessee, USA --After fleeing to America to avoid political persecution, "Educational Asylum Seekers, " German couple Uwe and Hannelore Romeike have been granted political asylum by a federal judge. The judge agreed that there was a "well-founded fear of persecution, " due to their educational philosophies.
