Dear Ms Chopra,

I refer to your request for access to information on 13 and 27 September
2021.  

An absconder is a person who is released on recognizance in lieu of
detention and is considered as a breach of recognizance under section 36
of the Immigration Ordinance (Cap.115).

Please note that the Security Bureau does not maintain your requested
information.  Thank you.

Security Bureau

Dear Security Bureau,

I am writing to request the rate of compliance with the humanitarian
assistance/Alternative to Detention Programme that is provided by
International Social Services to non-refoulement claimants. May I know,

1) In each of the years between 2010 – 2020, what percentage of claimants
receiving humanitarian assistance absconded from the Alternative to
Detention Programme in each year?

2) How is “absconding” defined by the Security Bureau in this context?

If a CSV or Excel format is possible, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yours faithfully,

Surabhi Chopra
