It is common for migrants/refugees/asylum seekers to destroy documents. If you arrive to claim asylum in a country with your passport in your pocket it makes it easy for the country you are arriving in to check your background story (which may or may not be true), and to deport you if your asylum claim is not successful (as they know where you come from).
