Dear Raquel Amador,

I refer to your two applications for access to information submitted on 11
March 2021 and our interim reply of 19 March 2021.

The population and admission figures pertaining to the sites and buildings
concerned are outside the purview of the Immigration Department.  The
Immigration Department thus does not have the requested information and
statistics.

Dear email CSD,

Thank you for your reply dated 9 June 2021. I note you do not hold
statistical figures related to non-refoulement claimants and foreign
domestic helpers. Could you please confirm whether you have the data
previously requested of detainees held under immigration powers e.g.
S26-S31, S32, S34 and S37ZK of the Immigration Ordinance (Cap 115), at CSD
institutions and at detention sites other than Castle Peak Bay Immigration
Centre and Mau Tau Kok Detention Centre. In particular I am referring to
the detainees that were detained at sites and buildings referred to in
point one of Schedule 1 to the Immigration (Places of Detention) Order,
Cap 115B, on the basis of the Immigration Ordinance, Cap 115?

Yours sincerely,

Raquel Amador
