The Addiction Research Foundation (ARF) of Toronto sent the DIRB the attached five articles on drugs and drug abuse in Egypt. The Foundation noted in its 21 April 1995 letter to the DIRB that published information on Egypt is both scarce and dated. Nonetheless, these articles have been included for general information.

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.
