1. This Appellant was convicted on 19 June 1996 of the possession of a forged identity card, and illegally remaining in Hong Kong having landed unlawfully. Police officers had spoken to her in Yuen Long, as a result of which she was asked for her identity card. This looked to the officers as if it was a forgery, and she admitted that she had bought the card in Shenzhen. She went on to tell the police that she had sneaked into Hong Kong by boat.
