1. The applicant is a 25-year-old national of Vietnam who entered Hong Kong illegally on 12 June 2016 and surrendered to the Immigration Department on 16 June 2016 when she raised a non-refoulement claim for protection on the basis that if she returned to Vietnam she would be harmed, or killed, by her creditor for failing to repay her loan and/or by her abusive second husband. She has since been released on recognizance pending the determination of her claim.
