瑞典接收首名「香港國安法」難民, 或成歐盟國家首例


  • 瑞典移民署正式接收香港人Narayan Liu作為政治難民, 官方理由更明文指出Narayan Liu可能因為香港國安法而被捕.
    這很可能是首次有歐盟國家引用香港國安法作為官方理由, 去接收香港難民.

    香港人權律師Mark Daly 認為這可能成為國際法律先例.

    (在今年5月, 德國接收一名香港女子作為難民, 但沒有正式提供任何理由)

    The Swedish Migration Agency made the ruling in April, but Narayan Liu, who was born in Taiwan but raised in Hong Kong, is now going public with the news – having received his residency documents this month.

    It is believed to be the first asylum award for a Hongkonger in the European Union to explicitly cite the national security law, which Beijing rolled out in June 2020.
    “When returning to Hong Kong, you risk arrest as the activities you have undertaken would be considered in breach of the national security law,” read a 10-page award, seen by the South China Morning Post.

    The news was first reported by Kinamedia, a Swedish online news outlet.

    In May, a Hong Kong woman referred to by the pseudonym “Kathrin” was granted refugee status in Germany, but the authorities there did not provide detailed rationale behind their verdict.
