Concerns over the proposed amendments to the Immigration Ordinance

December 16, 2020
ABC

Justice Centre shares the @Refugee Concern Network’s strong concerns over some of the proposed amendments to the Immigration Ordinance.

Under the proposed law, protection claimants could be deprived of their right to interpretation, compelled to give consent for medical examinations, and detained for long periods, among other things.

Read about our concerns in SCMP’s coverage on the bill:

We will also attend RTHK’s Backchat tomorrow morning at 8:30am on RTHK Radio 3 – Please stay tuned!

Justice Centre Hong Kong 認同關注難民網絡就入境條例部份建議修訂的憂慮。

修訂下,免遣返保護聲請者可能失去在聆訊中使用傳譯的權利、被逼就醫學檢查提供同意,給被羈留更長時間等等。

我們詳細的意見可見於明報的報道:

1) 入境擬修例 酷刑聲請須用指定語言 過來人憂不能用母語述苦難 日後更少成功個案

2) 憂立會反對聲絕 關注組織游說議員設法案委會

3) Virginie Goethals:修入境例恐損難民人權 審核機制須符國際法理

我們亦將於今天晚上7:30在香港電台《自由風自由phone》節目接受訪問,誠邀你到時與我們一起收聽:https://www.rthk.hk/radio/radio1/programme/openline_openview
