Two essential participants in the organiza tions that are responsible for smuggling illegal immigrants into Hong Kong are the masters of the junks in which the immigrants are transported and those who assist the immigrants to find their destinations immediately on their arrival. It is considered that in the circumstances the only effective deterrent will be the imposition in appropriate cases of substantial prison sentences.
