The Hong Kong Refugee Advice Centre Ltd.(HKRAC) is assisting a male,
Muslim asylum claimant from central Cote d'Ivoire with family origins
in northern Cote d'Ivoire. The claimant was involved in the local
branch of the Rassemblement des Republicains (“RDR”), and became the
head local mobilizer for a town of 40,000 people. He experienced
police harassment, intimidation and threats on account of his
political activities. The police cracked down on RDR members in the
aftermath of a nationwide protest in November 2006 and the client went
into hiding in Abidjan. The client believes he is on a government hit
list (the Red List).
We are looking for country condition research and expert advice on:
1. The current status of opposition party activities in Cote
d'Ivoire. For example, whether they operate openly, whether members
are monitored and threatened by the ruling party, whether a hit list
exists.
2. The current situation of Muslim Ivorians.
3. The viability of the internal flight alternative to Abidjan for
persons with the client's profile.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please contact: Sanjula
