1. The Applicant is a 30-year-old national of Somalia who arrived in Hong Kong on 22 April 2012 as a visitor, but when he was refused entry by the Immigration Department, he raised a non-refoulement claim for protection on the basis that if he returned to Somalia he would be harmed or killed by the members of the majority Hawiye clan and/or the Al-Shabaab for being Midgan, a minority caste in Somalia. He was subsequently released on recognizance pending the determination of his claim.
