Item (4)
The CIC is an immigration detention facility for detaining immigration offenders (18 years old
or above) who are awaiting repatriation/removal/deportation under the Immigration
Ordinance or the final determination of their non-refoulement claims.
On the other hand, the MTKDC is an immigration facility for short-term detention of
immigration offenders pending inquiry, prosecution, court hearing or transfer to other
detention facilities.
Pursuant to the prevailing detention policy by the HKSAR Government, in determining
whether a person should be released or detained, the Secretary for Security / Director of
Immigration will take into consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances of the
particular case, including: (i) whether the person's removal is going to be possible within a
reasonable time; (ii) whether the person concerned has committed a serious crime or poses,
or is likely to pose, a threat or security risk to the community if not being detained; (iii)
whether there is any risk of that person's absconding and / or (re)offending; (iv) whether that
person's identity is resolved or satisfied to be genuine; (v) whether that person has close
connection or fixed abode in Hong Kong; and (vi) whether there are other circumstances in
favour of release. The mere presence of a particular factor does not automatically lead to
detention or release. The factors will be considered in the context of all the circumstances
of the case. Each case is to be considered on its own facts and merits and detention will be
kept under regular review and will be reviewed when there is a material change of
circumstances.
The ImmD does not maintain the requested information and statistics.
