THE 107 PEOPLE ON TODAY'S FLIGHT ARE SOUTHERNERS FROM SHEK KONG DETENTION CENTRE.

THEY HAVE ALL VOLUNTEERED SINCE THE LUNAR NEW YEAR AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE 800 OR SO VOLUNTEERS INVOLVED IN THE SHEK KONG TRAGEDY WHOSE CLEARANCE FOR DEPARTURE AWAITS THE OUTCOME OF POLICE

NONE OF THE RETURNEES TODAY WERE IN ANYWAY INVOLVED IN THE SHEK KONG TRAGEDY.

THERE ARE ANOTHER 512 VOLUNTEERS AT SHEK KONG AND 590 AT LO WU WHO ARE AWAITING THEIR RETURN HOME ON FUTURE UNHCR FLIGHTS TO VIETNAM.

THE REFUGEE CO-ORDINATOR MR CLINTON LEEKS WELCOMED THESE CLEAR SIGNS THAT THE MOMENTUM OF THE VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION PROGRAMME HAD BEEN MAINTAINED DESPITE THE SHEK KONG TRAGEDY.

"THE IMPORTANT FACT IS THAT WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF VIETNAM AND FROM ALL OUR DETENTION CENTRES DECIDING TO VOLUNTEER TO RETURN.

"THIS IS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE MESSAGE IS GETTING THROUGH THAT THE ONLY SENSIBLE OPTION FOR NON-REFUGEES IS TO RETURN HOME," SAID.
