People looking for a place that they can go to escape the oppression they are under. For example, someone in Cuba who is being persecuted (put in jail, local police are beating him, etc.) for speaking out against the Government might go to the USA to escape the conditions of their homeland.

When a person is seeking asylum they are seeking refuge, sanctuary or a place they can be safe and secure.
