1. The Applicant is a 42-year-old national of Nepal who entered Hong Kong illegally in May 2007 and was arrested by police on 27 February 2008. After he was referred to the Immigration Department for investigation, he raised a torture claim later taken as a non-refoulement claim on the basis that if he returned to Nepal he would be harmed or killed by the Communist Party of Nepal (“the Maoists”). He was subsequently released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
