urgent question for examples of exceptional asylum‏

hi all,
are there any examples, where (collective) asylum was granted because of 
political pressure/struggle? Especially eventual cases of "communal 
asylum"/asylum granted by a city or so would be important.
To show the authorities in Munich/Bavaria/Germany, that they could 
indeed fulfill the claims of the hunger/thirst striking asylum seekers.

worried greetings from Munich
