For information on the Lawyers for Human
Rights and Development (LHRD), please consult the attached letter,
which was faxed to the DIRB on 12 April 1996 by the South Asia
Project Officer of International Alert (IA) in London, United
Kingdom. In a telephone interview on 19 March 1996, the South Asia
Project Officer stated that IA is a politically-independent group
that works for conflict resolution in Sri Lanka and various other
countries.
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.
