The Immigration Department (ImmD) carried out a repatriation operation today (December 28). A total of 16 Vietnamese illegal immigrants were repatriated to Vietnam. The persons removed comprised four men and 12 women, all of whom were unsubstantiated non-refoulement claimants. Among them were discharged prisoners who had committed criminal offences and had been sentenced to imprisonment.
The ImmD remains committed to expediting the removal process to repatriate illegal immigrants and overstayers from Hong Kong as soon as practicable according to the actual situation through appropriate measures as necessary.
