According to a representative of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission based in San Francisco, California, although strict anti-homosexual legislation was relaxed, not all persons serving sentences under the old legislation have been released from jail (13 Aug. 1993). The representative further indicated that his organization was currently investigating cases of homosexuals being re-sentenced and kept in jail, cases of imprisoned homosexuals who cannot be located and of missing files (Ibid.).

No additional and/or corroborating information on this topic is currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa.
