Please find attached some articles that report on the aftermath of the 4 January 1996 demonstration by fishermen referred to in Response to Information Request CHL25536.E of 23 December 1996. However, references to fishermen being arrested in their homes after the demonstration could not be found among the sources consulted by 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.
