Canada begins accepting Hong Kong pro-democracy activists as refugees
A couple from Hong Kong were accepted as “Convention refugees” last month. Both in their early 30's, the man and his wife took to street protests in 2019 amid a series of pro-democracy mass demonstrations in Hong Kong.
Under Canadian Law, a “Convention refugee” refers to the United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and is defined as someone who cannot return to their home “due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion” or other factors.
Accepting refugees from Hong Kong is an indictment of its justice system. It implies that the concerned persons have no internal flight alternative and cannot reasonably rely upon Hong Kong’s judicial structure for protection.
