A representative of International Prison
Watch (IPW) in Lyon, France, was unaware of the existence of a
prison called "Soba" located near Khartoum (18 Oct. 1995).
For information in French on prisons in
Sudan, please refer to the annual report of IPW (Observatoire
International des Prisons) (1995, 192-196).
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.
