The Bunker, a gay bar in Buenos Aires; its address and location of the nearest police station (1999-October 2000) [ARG35775.E]

According to City of Buenos Aires.Com, a Website providing information of interest to tourists visiting Argentina, the Bunker discotheque is located at the following address: Thomás Manuel de Anchorena 1170, Buenos Aires (2000). This information is corroborated by PlanetOut Travel, a travel directory for homosexuals, which states that "Disco Bunker" is located at Anchorena 1170, between Paraguay and Charcas Streets (n.d.). PlanetOut Travel further claims that the Bunker is Buenos Aires's "main club, sometimes called 'The Cathedral'. It is huge, with a capacity for 1,000 people" (ibid.).

The address of the 19th precinct of the Argentinean Federal Police (Policía Federal de Argentina, PFA), which is located in the vicinity of Anchorena 1170, is as follows: Charcas 2844, Buenos Aires (Sitio Argentino de Chicos Perdidos 2000).

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.
