RIFAT ASADUZZAMAN V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

The applicant, a Bangladeshi national who entered Hong Kong illegally by boat, sought leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision dismissing his non-refoulement claim based on fear of harm from Awami League members due to his support for the Bangladesh National Party. The applicant did not request a hearing and the matter was dealt with on paper. Leave to apply for judicial review was refused.
