No information on this group is currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa. However, please find attached an article on the disappearance of a defender of street children in April 1991.
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
