1. The applicant is a 39-year-old national of Bangladesh who entered Hong Kong illegally on 22 January 2014 and was arrested by police on the same day. After being 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.
