Description

Michael O’Neill reports on the screening process for refugees in Hong Kong, and the possibility of forced repatriation. Norma Johnston, Amnesty International, talks about how the people doing the screening are under-qualified. Katherine Pang, Catholic Justice and Peace Group, talks about how some refugees are using outside political groups to help their appeals; Choy Ping Yang from the appeals board rejects the criticism.
