IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
According to an article published in the
Indian Ocean Newsletter of 9 July 1994, the police searched
the headquarters of the All Amhara Peoples' Organization (AAPO) in
Addis Ababa on 4 and 5 July 1994. This source states that its
former chairman, Abebe Simeneh, and other members were jailed after
having been charged. "To this must be added the numerous cases of
murder and disappearance of AAPO officers, members and supporters
in several parts of Ethiopia" (ibid.).
Information on whether the office was shut
down for a number of days starting 9 July could not be found among
the sources currently available to the DIRB.
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.
