The HKSAR Government all along has strictly followed the established

and legal principles established by the Court. The HKSAR Government will
conduct regular and timely review of each detention case in accordance
with the prevailing mechanisms to determine whether an individual should
be further detained, and will notify the person concerned in writing of
the results of the review with justifications, and conduct an interview
with the person concerned to explain the relevant situation.

The Immigration Department does not maintain the requested statistics of
detention reviews for detainees at the Ma Tau Kok Detention Centre.

I hope the information is useful to you.
