1. The applicant is a 36-year-old national of Bangladesh who last entered Hong Kong illegally on 22 January 2014 and was arrested by the police on 23 January 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 members of rival political party Awami League (“AL”). He has since been released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
