The sources currently available to the DIRB do not refer to attacks on Democratic United National Front (DUNF) leaders and members since May 1993. However, the three attached articles, which provide information on the assassination of the Democratic United National Front (DUNF) leader and the detention of a number of DUNF members in April 1993, might be noteworthy.
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. Please find attached the list of sources consulted in researching this information request.
