1. The applicant is a 30-year-old national of Bangladesh who entered Hong Kong illegally on 21 December 2013 and was arrested by the police on 15 February 2014. After he was referred to the Immigration Department for investigation, he lodged a non-refoulement claim on the basis that if he returned to Bangladesh he would be harmed or killed by supporters of rival political party Awami League (“AL”). He has since been released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
