No reports since 1997 could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate that linked the police and/or government officials to corruption and/or brutality, or that provided information on the "Central Intelligence Board" and whether or not it has been linked to corruption and/or brutality.
Please note that in early December 1996 Mongolian radio reported that authorities had shut down the Central Intelligence Bureau (CIB) and created a new security body called the National Security Bureau, following a "wiretapping scandal" (Kyodo 6 Dec. 1996).
Country Reports 1998 reports, however, that the State Security Agency (SSA), formerly the Mongolian Central Intelligence Agency, is responsible for internal security (26 Feb. 1999).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate 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. Please find below the list of additional sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
