VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION
UNHCR HAVE INFORMED US THAT A TEAM OF VIETNAMESE OFFICIALS WILL ARRIVE IN HONG KONG ON 11 SEPTEMBER TO PROCESS THE NEXT (FOURTH) GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS FOR RETURN. WE ARE NOT CLEAR AT THIS STAGE HOW
MANY PEOPLE WILL BE RETURNING IN THIS GROUP BUT UNHCR CLAIM THAT IT MIGHT BE AS MANY AS 250. THIS MAY BE OPTIMISTIC BUT WE WOULD NEVERTHELESS EXPECT A FIGURE OF WELL OVER 100.
