IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
In a 6 April 1998 telephone interview with
the Research Directorate, an employee at Radio Difusora Cultural
Indigenista in Zongolica, Veracruz, stated that José Luis
Cocotle is a radio announcer (locutor) with the
organization and has worked there for three years. The employee was
uncertain whether Cocotle had written articles for the La
Jornada, but stated that he had written some articles for an
indigenous cultural magazine called Calmecac. The employee
stated further that Cocotle was currently on vacation.
Attempts to obtain articles written by
José Luis Cocotle from La Jornada newspaper and the
Radio Difusora Cultura Indigenista were unsucessful within the time
constraints of this Response to Information Request.
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. Please find below the
list of sources consulted in researching this Information
Request.
