Dear Immigration Department,

I am writing to enquire, as of 31 December 2017, how many non-refoulement claimants, having their claims been finally determined and rejected by the Immigration Department, (i) had lodged appeals/petitions or were within the 14-day time period for lodging appeals/petitions and (ii) had not lodged appeals/petitions, were without the 14-day time period for lodging appeals/petitions and were in Hong Kong.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Annie Li
