104 Vietnamese depart on orderly repatriation flight
A group of 104 Vietnamese migrants returned to Vietnam today (Wednesday) on the 20th flight under the Orderly Repatriation Programme (ORP).
All the returnees, comprising 41 men, 24 women, 20 boys and 19 girls, were from High Island Detention Centre. The oldest is 57 years old and the youngest 10 months old.
Most of them arrived in Hong Kong in 1988 and 1989 with only a handful of them coming to the territory in 1990 and 1991.
The group was the largest on a single flight since the programme started in November 1991 and brought the total number repatriated on ORP flights to 1,089.
