1. The applicant is a 32-year-old national of Pakistan who entered Hong Kong illegally on 22 April 2015 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 Pakistan he would be harmed or killed in revenge arising from a fight during a Kabaddi match in his home village. He has since been released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
