1. The Applicant is a 47-year-old national of Bangladesh who entered Hong Kong illegally on 10 March 2016 and surrendered to the Immigration Department on 14 March 2016 when he raised a non-refoulement claim for protection on the basis that if he returned to Bangladesh he would be harmed or killed by certain local supporters of the political party Awami League (“AL”) for refusing to pay them extortion money. He was subsequently released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
