of 18 January 1996, which is available in Regional Documentation
Centres, provides information on the 4 April 1995 riots in a few
southern suburbs of Tehran, including Islamshahr, as well as the
arrest, injury and killing of participants. It also refers to press
reports on the future trials of 50 arrestees.
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.
