II REPATRIATION POLICY EXPLAINED
TAV
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT
IN RESPONSE TO PRESS REPORTS ON THE GOVERNMENT'S REPATRIATING CHINESE AND VIETNAMESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, SPOKESMAN TODAY (SATURDAY) SAID THE POLICY WAS BASED NOT ON ETHNIC BACK GROUND BUT ON THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CONCERNED.
"ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM CHINA, WHETHER OF CHINESE OR VIETNAMESE ORIGIN, MUST BE RETURNED TO CHINA," THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
"AND UNDER OUR 29 OCTOBER 1991 AGREEMENT WITH VIETNAM, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM VIETNAM MUST BE RETURNED TO VIETNAM. THE ARRANGEMENTS AGREED WITH THE CHINESE AND VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENTS FOR RETURNING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DO NOT ALLOW FOR FAMILIES THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MAY HAVE STARTED IN HONG KONG TO GO WITH THEM ON THEIR RETURN. THIS IS EXPLAINED TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN DETENTION WHO APPLY TO MARRY IN HONG KONG, HE SAID.
